Jan 5, 2008 Draft. Pours a dark brown with a smooth, white head. Roasted malt in the aroma. Flavor was nice and malty. Some coffee hints balanced with sweet chocolate. Dry finish. This was nice and tasty.

Jan 1, 2008 On tap at the brewpub with KieferUGA. Poured a dark, reddish brown. Aroma was good with chocolate, caramel and nuts. Flavor was very assertive and good for the style. Medium bodied and was slightly soft on the palate. A really good version for the style.

Dec 28, 2007 Appearance: Pours an opaque, dark brown body with reddish-tinted edges and a tall, though diminishing off-white head.
Smell: Expressive, malty nose offers toasted nuts, bakers chocolate, dark caramel, anise, and a hint of roast. Notes of citrus fruits, flowers, and spice.
Taste: Rich dark caramel and melted bakers chocolate with a subtle, nutty sweetness. Hint of spicy anise. Citrus and floral hop flavors with a balancing earthy bitterness. Notes of unsweetened chocolate intensify on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: I’m always happy to stand up and applaud a well-crafted, simple brown ale, but this is anything but, it’s rich, flavorful, and chock-full of malt complexity.

Dec 23, 2007 Draft. Deep dark brown ale. Aroma of roasted malts. Flavor is a huge malt body. Roasty malts, toffee, chocolate, nutty flavor. Hop bitterness is very well balanced with the malt. Super flavorful. Perfectly made Beer!
