Oct 5, 2009 this beer is beautifully balanced and easy to drink. this bottle pours a deep, dark, rich brown with a thick and puffy, cream colored head. smells of smokey goodness and prunes and raisins!! the taste is wonderful, it is a fruity start (plums?) then proceeds to be malty and strong while it finishes with some toffee, brown sugar and clove. the final go down is smooth and addicting, love this stuff.

Oct 2, 2009 Pours dark brown, almost black, with a thick creamy head. Aromas of banana and ginger bread. Flavor is very mello and nutty. Some banana and spice flavors in there as well, and a nice bit of acidity comes though in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel. This is a darn good beer, and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before.

Sep 27, 2009 Poured from 11 oz bottle, a very nice dark brown, an inch layer of light tannish head, caramely and malty nose. Notes of caramel and damp earth, vanilla. Moderately sweet in the start with some nice malty notes of toffee and the faintest hardwood smoke. Overall flavour is complex. It starts with a brown sugary presence with a little raisin, hazelnut, and caramel. Then ends with a burnt malt. Very clean, rich, malty, and well balanced.

Sep 27, 2009 Deep amber-brown pour with a nice tan head. Dark fruits in the aroma with some coffee in there but it is all pretty light. Yeasty flavor with an undertone of coffee throughout. Almost like a yeasty raisin bread. Bit of a tangy finish.

Sep 20, 2009 Pour is dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is dry with a little bit of coffee scents. Flavor is a malty and dry. A bit of hoppiness but nothing overpowering. Plum and blackcurrant notes. Pretty good, but I think that 100 percentile rating is a little high.
