Dec 10, 2009 Nutty nose, sweet with some chocolate, molasses, earthy hops, some roast. Not overly aromatic, but way more complex on the nose than most browns. Dark brown w red hues and a huge rocky head that never really settles. Roast and nutty notes up front, chocolate and molasses mid palate, moderate earthy bitterness and some sweetness and dry roasted notes linger. Vibrant big bubbled carbonation. Medium bodied beer. Sessionable at 6 percent too.

Dec 1, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of nuts, molasses, roasted malt, hops, burnt toast , and chocolate. Flavor is also nutty and roasty with a lot of molasses and notes of chocolate and toast. Very rich and robust. Medium-to-full bodied. Aftertaste characterized by molasses and roast. I like this a lot.

Nov 16, 2009 Bottle [22oz] shared with the gang at ’WaterlooWeekend Oct.’09’ -- c/o J&K. Weird, it gushed out on the 3rd pour. Pours a very dark brown with a large foamy beige head. Pretty nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nuts and vanilla -- perhaps a bit of staleness as well. Flavour of toasted dark malt, light green hops, nuts and maple syrup. Average to medium bodied. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Overly carbonated but other then that quibble it’s quite good.

Nov 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to FlssmrBrewAlum!
Dark red-brown with a thin beige head. Nose of light graham cracker, hints of green hop and hints of fruit and almond, but the strong chocolate wins out over everything. Same with the flavor, hints of bitter wood and toast being submerged under the chocolate malt. Rather sticky, drying body. Good stuff, but not very balanced and so seemingly simple.

Nov 11, 2009 [2536-20091024] 1pt6floz bottle. Rich toasted chocolate malt fruit aroma. Slightly hazy, dark brown red body with a quick foamy dark brown head. More rich chocolate malt in the flavour. Full body. Nice, very pleasant.
