Nov 29, 2007 Bottle. Poured a dark red, with a finger of head. Very sweet and fruity nose. Tastes amazing. Very sweet initially, followed by a very sweet dry chocolate finish. Very smooth and finishes exceptionally. Great lacing. The chocolate finish is delayed on my palate almost perfectly. One of the few beers I find myself savoring and being disappointed when the bottle is empty. Highly recommended.

Nov 19, 2007 Updated: Jun 9, 2008An excellent old ale, this reminds me of a lighter, more lively and flowery Old Peculier or a lighter, complex porter. It is very dark red brown with a big, thick, dense tan head and some lacing. The aroma is rich, toasty caramelly malt. The taste is a little earthy, chocolaty, caramelly malt, coffee, all mild, and toasty (not burnt), and some flowery, bitter hop character. It is smooth with a sweet and bitter finish. It’s lively, complex, smooth, and tasty.

Nov 18, 2007 Poured Amber with amazing head. This one was a little too carbinated, which I don’t normally like. It had a good flavor to it though.

Nov 16, 2007 Poured an amber color with a good sized head. Would have gotten higher marks but, little too much carbonation for my taste. Just a little bitter during the aftertaste.

Nov 11, 2007 0.5 L bottle, bbe Oct 07. Clear red-brown topped with a moderately sized off-white froth. Nose of bitter chocolate with nuts and coffee liqueur. Roasted malts dominate the taste but there is also some hop bitterness. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Light tartness, succulent body.

Nov 10, 2007 1 pt 0.9 fl oz. bottle: L73 22:29. Pours a deep ruby-brown with a generous creamy tan head. The malty aroma is both pleasing and overwhelming. Medium mouth feel. Strong flavor and dry finish. A good brew.

Oct 31, 2007 Brown...actually looks like a pepsi with less carbonation, tan head...I smell rich malts, caramel-like...and sweet and like candy...molasses on the palate, quite pungent balanced well with just a touch of bitterness on the finish...over ripe bitter bananas...refreshing texture, leaves a taste that encourages to keep on sippin’
