Jan 8, 2006 Cranberry brown pour. Lots of fresh cherry juice in the aroma and body. The body is a bit thin, but filled with notes of chocolate, vanilla, roasted beans and more fruit. Finishes watery. Good, but I want more of everything to make this great.

From the bottle
Froths up into a big tan head in the stein; the aroma is molassas and plum, with a bit of leather and yeast and humus. As the beer warms, it takes on a strong,unmistakable, and curious if not as unpleasant-as-it-might-sound scent of agar. The flavor is not as sweet as I’d expected, with smoky malt, bittersweet burnt sugar, hints of peat and corkboard. Despite adequate carbonation, the mouthfeel is a bit thin and round rather than crisp; the finish provides a bit of smoke-and-hops bitterness.
This is a reasonably good beer, but not a standout like Ayinger’s Celebrator.

Dec 22, 2005 500 mL brown bottle served at Osteria del Stato restaurant, Chicago, IL. Clear dark brown ale having a long-lasting creamy off-white head with good lacing. Spicy sweet malt aroma. No discernable carbonation. Medium bodied that starts with light sweet malt, spice and caramel flavors. Finishes with light sweet malt aftertaste. No discernable bitterness. Went well with my roast chicken lunch. This is a very good drinkable malty session beer.

Nov 24, 2005 Appears copper with aubunr trim. Even layer of head across the glass. Aroma is alt caramel, and malt grain. Texture is pure and refined and is easily drunk. The malt has a very light sweet taste with mre flavor siding towards caramel most of all.
