Jul 12, 2006 Dark brown, sweet brown sugar aroma. Medium bodied, soft caramel, a bit of chocolate, low bitterness. Not bad, but not a re-purchase either.

Apr 13, 2006 Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma of nuts malt and wet cardboard. Yep, cardboard is in the taste too. A light sweetness is there also. Not much of a bock, more of a brown ale really, but I don’t rate to style so it doesn’t matter. I rate to taste and unfortunately for this one that does matter. Thin unpleasant body. Finish is slight nutty with a metal bitterness. Not much going on in this malt sided brew. But on the plus side it was inexpensive.

Feb 7, 2006 Looks and smells pretty decent. Definitely light chocolate in the aroma and first taste. A little thinnish, with a frisky, bubbly finish. A little too watery to be great.

Jul 18, 2005 Pours a dark brown with traces of a slightly off white head. The aroma is light caramel and some wood. There is also a little bit of aromatic bitters. The taste is caramel and some raosted notes of coffee and chocolate. Surprisingly warming and decent. Could use a little more balance of sweetness.

Jul 8, 2005 Pours a thin golden-brown with whiffs of chocolate and swamp in the nose. Flavor is more toffee than chocolate, and these are introduced early in the flavor along with mild floral hops. Not a great balance between the two, but not terrible. Some molasses here as well. A final bite of astringent metal is...not good. Body is very thin and sticky.
