Jul 20, 2007 Pours a molten crayon brown with ruby highlights. So very dark brown! Immense head of foamy beige threatens to overtake the glass. Aggressive and boisterous. Aromas of cocoa powder, nut, and a bit of tin. Washes over the palate with toasty nut goodness, leafy hoppiness, chocolate, and a smidge of lactic sour. Too sweet for me in an alt. Faint hints of an organic craft root beer of all things. FInishes with a dry snap and a lingering tinny shadow.

Jul 16, 2007 welldone..dark brown body with massive beige head...aroma is somewhat lacking but has sort of a chocolate earthy backbone; creamy body gives rise to the nutty chocolate, caramel, and toasted flavor profile....nice palate

Jul 13, 2007 Dark with big frothy off white head. A flavor mix of nut, cocoa, and wood hints. But all flavors and the mouthfeel itself are very light.

Jul 5, 2007 Pours dark brown with some ruby around the edges, very carbonated, lots of tan bubbles, head never gave up, it was always there, aromas of bread, caramel and dark malt, faint brown sugar, molasses and
hints of licorice, faint floral fragrance, very bubbly in the mouth, flavor of malt sweetness, dark malt with some fruit, some taste of pumpernickel bread, sweet on the palate that turns dry quickly, light fruit taste, finishes dry with some bitterness, the carbonation gets in the way of the taste, could have used a little less carbo in this beer.

Jul 2, 2007 Served with a deep garnet body under a halo of ecru. No notes on the aroma, but the flavor produced a dry, mild roastiness with earthen notes and a touch of sweetness. Raw in character but pretty good.
