Mar 24, 2009 12 ounce bottle courtesy of mibirder. Thanks! Pours an extremely dark brown color with a huge tan head. Good retention and fair lacing. Aroma of big roasted malts and slight tart fruits. Taste is roasted malts, chocolate, tart fruits, bandaid.. Something a bit off. Medium bodied,

Jan 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Rather opaque black pour into the tulip. Huge off white head, had to pour and wait a couple times. Burnt malt and toast aromas, but rather light. Lively mouthfeel, light medium body. Burnt malt taste with hints of dark chocolate. Subdued hop presence. Very, very clean, but maybe just a bit overcarbonated. If not for the carbonation I would say this is extreamly drinkable, but as such is just good drinkability. A very interesting and unique alt.

Dec 3, 2008 Bought a six pack while visiting Ann Arbor. This dark ale had a nice malty aroma and taste, with a strong smoky and hoppy finish that stays with you. I liked this beer a lot, because it not only tasted great when I drank it, but the taste stayed with me for a good hour afterward.

Oct 22, 2008 On tap @ brewery. Aroma is toasted and nutty malt. With hints of lemon, raisin, toffee and cola. The initial flavor has a mild hop bitterness. The middle flavor is roasted malty, nothing spectacular. Mild hoppy finish that fads to coffee.

Oct 4, 2008 Dark tree bark color. Half way between toasted and roasted on the malts, with just a little sweetness in the initial sip. Second sip reveals some smoke and resin. Finish is dry. Body is solid.

Sep 17, 2008 12 oz bottle: Should have know from the pop of the bottle cap that this was going to be a gusher. Actually took over 5 minutes to pour this beer as I would get 5 inches of an off-white head for every 1/4 of the bottle that I poured. Orange-black in color, evidence of particles. Aroma of roasted malt, wheat and grass. Initially tastes a little sweet with a burnt malt flavor. Then it dulls to a sour, seaweed finish. Maybe I just got a bad batch as this is the 2nd bottle in the 6 pack to do this to me. Not enjoyable at all.

Sep 9, 2008 12 oz bottle - Pours a fairly cloudy deep amber color with medium sized medium tan head. Aroma is fairly estery, notes of cherries, vanilla, oak, caramel, bit of diacetyl. Flavor is malty, notes of caramel and vanilla, with a mildly sweet finish. Overall decent brew.
