chimplechamp (393), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 17, 2007 pours a deep brown ruby, with a smallbeige head with tight bubble formations. smells citrus like lemon drop candies, lots of malts, buttery breadand some molasses and some cola type smell. has a chewy mouthfeel, with a nice citrussy hoppy finish. quite good,
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.
