Sep 29, 2008 Tap @ OTH.
Pours dark amber,off-white head.
Aroma hoppy, malty, mix of fruits, with a near vegetable nose.
Taste, very sweet, caramely / sugary, possibly licorice, light fruits tones (cherry), thick mouthfeel, little hoppy in aftertaste. Some roastiness in the finish.
I can’t help but notice some earthly/vegetable taste similar to the aroma.

Sep 25, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Beautiful pour. Nose is a little sweet. Coats your entire mouth, tastes awesome, and a dry finish that lasts until forever. Absolutely fantastic.

Sep 22, 2008 On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a dark brownish color, big reddish highlights and very creamy peach-tan head with gorgeous lacing. Aroma is big with candied fruit, peach, caramel, raisin, soft sinuous chocolate and apricot. Malty body, full of flavor and complexity. Nutty, dark fruits, brown sugar, peach, raisin, apricot, slight roast in the finish. Very good. Highly drinkable and surprisingly full-bodied and luscious considering the gravity. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
