Aug 11, 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering. Bomber courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Clear, deep brown with a thin, ringed tan head. Mild coffee and chocolate nose, yeasty, seemed a bit infected to me, with some sour nut notes. Didn’t really seem to crop up in the flavor. OK - I’d like to get another one of these and re-rate.

Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Pours dark brown, with a small off white head. Smells a bit Belgian, some candy sugar, dark malts, and molasses make up the nose. The flavor consists of some spices and a sweet malty presence. Got a bit of graham cracker and caramel in there as well. Kind of uniqu, but wasnt really getting me too exicted. Certainly drinkable, but lacking a bit of something.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at the Williamsburg Gathering courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Lightened black pour. Almost almost more a dark brown. Nose is soft coffee-ish notes, mild chocolate, light cocoa, toasted malts, soft grain and yeast. Taste echoes the coffee-ish notes, cocoa, yeast notes, grains, odd spice/herbs and toasted malts. Body is light-medium. Mild carbonation. Ends with more cocoa, softer chocolate, spices/herbs, light yeast, toasted malts. Tasty!
