Commercial Description:
For 14 wonderful years, we have been creating libations for ourselves in the hope that some others out there would share our eccentric palates and support us. Many thanks to all of you who do! Here is yet another quirky brew: a very dark and different, dry-hopped ale. Style? hard to say, you decide. Just expect massive molasses maltiness, limitless fruits on the nose and an imposing floral & zesty dry-hop finish. Peace to all and follow your dreams!

Dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, nut, spice hop zest. Thick cream, roast, ginger, choc., pine, molasses, and alcohol taste. Very thick and balanced all taste buds are affected.

Bottled. Pours dark brown with a red glow and a huge, frothy, beige head. Fair lacing. Nose of malt, caramel and light hops. Sweet flavour with malt, dark fruit and molasses. Medium bodied. Slightly bitter finish. A nice brew.

Butters cellar reduction tasting. Big chocolate, molasses, vanilla, malty nose. Wow... right off the bat. Very complex. Has this been barrel aged? Smells and tastes like it. Very savory longing beer. Awesome brew.

Shared at Butters Big Blowout, which Barrios picked for his 400th rating. Very dark brown pour with red highlights and solid dark tan head with good lacing. Nose is rummy, bourbon, i’d almost think this is oak aged, hints of ginger. Complex melding of molassis, milk chocolate, oak, vanilla. Medium full body with a creamy texture. Terrific job of hiding the alcohol.

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout! Thanks Butters for letting me choose what I wanted for this 400th rating. Pours a lacing, tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of molasses, dark bread, citrus, spice hops, ginger, and alcohol. Flavors the same but with some vanilla notes. The alcohol, hops, and sweetness are balanced very well.
