Nov 19, 2007 Pours a dark ruby with a large tan head. Lots of grapefruit and pine in the nose, with a good bit of malts as well. Taste is similar with pepper thrown in along with a bit of burnt cherry and fish sauce. Not too thin, but not chewy. Very balanced with a nice long finish. Reminds me of sitting in front of a fire in the fall, with winter well on its way.

Nov 13, 2007 Dark ruby beery with a lasting light beige head. Initial aroma is "dry hopped Avery", with that great balance of the grapefruit, the peach and the pine. Also some chocolate, molasses, wood, caramel and a hint of alcohol.
Flavour is rather sweet, full of dark, roast malt, chocolate, and a little alcohol. Long aftertaste of classic porter "charcoal". Unusual and a little confusing to drink since aroma and flavour doesn’t quite match.

Nov 12, 2007 Bottled sample via oakbluff. Nearly opaque dark brown with moderate carbonation. Aromas of citric hops, bready munich malts, and a bit of a vegital note. Flavors are of hot bean sprouts, toasted and caramel malts, and cinnamon? Full bodied, with a slightly dry finish. Sort of an unusual brew, but still fairly good.

Nov 11, 2007 22 oz bomber. Yeah I love this company. Once again Avery delivers with a unique ber for unique people. Pours an almost solid black with a large light brown frothy head that begs to be drank. Big citrus hop aroma with lots of chocolate in the background, slight pine but mostly an alcohol orange chocolate come to mind as I sniff this beauty. Body is solid with noticable carbonation on the back of my throat a quickly disipating palate and a medium body. Flavor of grapefruit, chocolate, malt, raisin bread and alcohol. Despite my horrible description this is one decent beer!! Go try some for something different for something that works!!

Nov 4, 2007 My first thought with my first sip was: "What an interesting and strange brew!" A lot of the flavors I just can’t put my finger on. Is it rye? The molasses is definetly there - a strong wheatiness and pleasant hoppiness. It really tastes pretty strong. Not much sweetness - in fact, pretty dry finish. There are pleasant cocoa-notes that you pick up here and there. Good.
