Lumpy (1530), Carrollton, Texas, USA Apr 28, 2007 Dr. Pepper body with a lasting ½ inch head. Nose-wood, dried cherries, lightly bready. Taste-bitter, grape, sawdust, light husk, flat cola, medium bitter on the back end, acorns, pecan, nutty, very little alcohol, high prickly CO2. Lots of nutshell, cola, not overly sweet, sticky, or biter. Nice very solid. Lingering bitterness costs it palate points.
tgncc (340), Bellmore, New York, USA Oct 30, 2008 Dark brown/ruby red color, thick off-white head. The aroma is incredible, a mix of dark fruits, cherries, chocolate, and sweet malt. The flavor is roughly the same as the aroma, a nice mixture of dark fruits and chocolate. The finish is sweet, but is then balanced by a slight hoppyness. Excellent bock overall. nqualls (573), Tennessee, USA Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark red with a three finger brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and fruit. Flavor is cherries, with a chocolate and coffee finishing. Somewhat light body with mild carbonation. douglas88 (936), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Sep 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to mmm///beer. Pours a beautiful dark red color with a large brown head. There is lots of brown in the body, mixed with the redness it almost seems like purple. The aroma is great; sweet berries, chocolates, toasted malts, and some sweeter candy notes. The flavor is very complex and nice; tons of fruit upfront, sour cherries, strawberry and others. A rich chocolate and brown sugar follow, and some light coffee in the finish. Light body and a somewhat easygoing beer. Very nice. marcus (1116), Sacramento, California, USA Sep 12, 2008 This reddish-brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a malty aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with a bit of smokiness and carbonation. This is a well-crafted session beer for those who enjoy a dark one. lithy (385), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2008 Pours very dark ruby brown with a thick and creamy finger of tan head that lingered. Aroma is mostly chocolate and lightly roasted malts. Body is smooth and lets through a very sweet beer that again is chocolatey with some prune undertones and a slight hop and roasted malt bitterness for balance.
