Oct 27, 2009 Poured cloudy and brown with reddish highlights. A two-finger tall, off-white head appeared and offered average lacing. The aroma was lots of malts, light toffee and slightly metallic. The flavor was malts, toffee, unchecked alcohol and a touch of chocolate. Almost medium in body. Didn’t quite come together for me. The weird combination of metal and alcohol on the finish really distracted me.

Oct 17, 2009 Pours a dark reddish brown. Minor light brown head. Dark and murky but glassy on the exterior.
Heavy cherry sweet liqueur smell, like a barleywine. Roasted malt is nutty and also sweet; brown sugary. Some mild grape notes.
Harsh sweet cherry flavor mixed with burnt, nutty malt. Brown sugar with grainy barley. Molasses and corn syrup.
Feels syrupy and thick. Has a sharp little bite on the back of the tongue. Ashy and substantial. Good, but not great. Strong and sweetly roasted.

noncaloric (601), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Sep 23, 2009 Dark brown. A frothy, active head leaves a glass-coating but temporary lace. Aroma has plenty of caramel, which clashes a bit with some herbal tendencies in it. Flavor blends dusty earth, caramel, and nut into a pleasing harmony. A hint of chocolate. Slightly lactic. Medium body and carbonations. Slightly tannic. Would drink again.
Wiseblood (658), Clarksville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 17, 2009 Dark translucent brown. Aroma is a bit nutty with some caramel, malt and sweetness. Rich and full of chocolate malts, caramel and some fruit. A little thinner and drier than I expected, but pretty good.
dnlsartin (68), Portland, Oregon, USA
Sep 11, 2009 A medium-bodied, amber brew with prunes and roasted malts on the nose. Its big character suggests cherries, raisins, hazelnut, and coffee with a sweet, hoppy finish and light mouthfeel.
