Apr 9, 2008 Bottle. Very intriguing aroma of chocolate, molasses, and an unusual array of dark to medium fruits, plum, apricot, some berry, some tropical notes. Flavor kind of a letdown, I felt the hops to an extent clashed with the fruit flavors and left an impression of weirdness. Mouthfeel was also not strong enough to support all the flavors it was carrying. Certainly an interesting brew, not unpleasant, and I’m always a sucker for originality, just fell a touch short for me.

Apr 8, 2008 Bottle. Poured an opaque, deep brown almost black with a slight dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruits. Taste of chocolate, molasses, raisins, prunes, a faint hop presence. A complex arrangement of flavors. Sweet and rich mouthfeel. I really liked this one.

Apr 7, 2008 22 oz bottle, via dirty martini. Pours a dark mahogany brown body with a large craggy foamy beige head that coated the glass with lace. The nose is quite pungently hoppy with lots of floral quality. Heavy malt base as well, nuttiness, caramel, coffee, brown sugar, there’s a lot going on here. The flavor is quite an odd combination. Biting floral and perfumy hops, very intense on the finish. Heavy burnt caramel and brown sugar maltiness clings to the cheeks and lingers forever. Seems like it’s trying to be lots of stuff at the same time, and it’s not doing any of them especially well. Full bodied and sticky with a clingy syrupy finish. Moderate fizzy prickly carbonation. Not too big of a fan of this one.

Apr 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 16, 2008Bomber. Very dark brown beer that is tried this again recently, still a nice drinker, but nothign too special. nearly black. There is some light brownish red at the edges with a light uellowish head on top. The aroma has some rich caramel and booze. There is also some chocolate covered cherries. The taste is dark chocolate covered cherries with some rum. There are prunes and some light tobacco notes. Surprisingly good and this approaches a stout.

Apr 2, 2008 22oz bomber proportioned in a snifter. Pours dark reddish brown with thick beige head initially with some longevity finishing as a thin film throughout the glass. Honey, hops, and dark fruit, possibly metallic aroma.
Taste of dark fruit with brown sugar and nice hop finish. I think I like Stone 11th better, but this is very nice.

Apr 1, 2008 Bottle@BlindTastingSession. Strong aroma, very sweet and fruity with some laurel. Ruby color, beige firm head, good lace. Very sweet, very bitter, especially towards the finish, licorice wood, roasted malts, hint of chocolate, black currant. Full and I don’t think I could finish more than 1 bottle. But the flavors and especially the aroma are great.
