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!

Looking forward to this for sum time after speaking with Avery..

.Pours the brownest of the browns..

.has at least a 2-3 finger power coppertone head.

..smell is actually quite similar to bigfoot but with a lighter burnt fruit smell profile.

..Taste is of smoke,fig,plum,bitter coffee, lots of dark oddland fruits- interesting to say the least.

..Very enjoyable..

.Smooth as silk, and the alcohol is sooo well masked!.

I think this is worthy of an anniversary brew!

Music accompaniment: Kemal-Live in Prague

Small tan head with excellent retention, lacing is sweet, hanging around, very attractive. Clear brown color with ruby red edging. A real looker. Nose is lightly sweet malts, funkily fruity and grainy. Med/full body, chewy and creamy with a slick carbonation. Medium sweet malts, faint chocolte notes, juicey fruit gum, caramel maltiness is great and enjoyable. Sweet? Nahhhhh, just right. Spicey, lightly swet finish. Groovy little brew. Bomber procured @ statelineliquors.

Bottle. Pours deep ruby with a beige head. Sweet raisin/plum aroma with caramel and molasses. The flavor is not overly sweet as the aroma implies. It’s a bit toasty with chocolate and dark fruity sweetness. Very light hops in the finish. Quite good.

Darker brown pour with a medium tan-beige head. Aroma is sweet with some dominant citrus and floral hops along with some nice rye and darker fruit. Flavor has a pleasant grass/citrus hoppiness wth some rye, honey, molasses, and a good overall sweetness. Nice brew - would be extremely unique if it weren’t for Stone 11th Anniversary - it doesn’t match the Stone, but its still a really good brew!

This was a gift. Poured a rich brown with a fat creamy head. Nose of rich malts, ripe fruit, and some chocolate. Rich creamy mouthfeel. Lots of flavor with carmel mats dominating. Very nice bitter finish.

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.
