Sample at the brewpub. Dark walnut, clear, little head. Thick caramel/brown sugar nose, with some eddies of vanilla, butterscotch and whiskey swirling through. Huge malty flavor mostly duplicates the nose, with some nice herbal/earthy qualities towards the end. Far and away the best sample from this brewpub.

Jun 5, 2008 TAP NY 2008. Dark in color with a little head. Aroma is very sweet initailly leading me to talk to the brewery. They caramelize the malt without liquid before the boiling. Brings out nice sweetness in aroma and taste. Some mellow smoke and the aldohol is hidden well. Great 1st beer of the day.

Aug 30, 2007 Growler. Poured a hazed dark brown color with an off-white head. The aroma has some roasty malty caramel sweetness with notes of coffee and smoke. The coffee notes came out in the flavor even more. Especially as this warmed. Medium bodied. Not too bad.
