May 24, 2004 Updated: Dec 22, 2007Rerate Still pretty solid, fades just a bit in the finish with some metallic notes. Original 4.0 Dark tea and bourbon like pour with a creamy, pillowy off-white head and thick long lasting lacing. Sweet, malty aroma, slight chocolate, molasses and a wee bit of alcohol. Chewy, thick mouthfeel, coats your mouth. Complex flavor, note raisins, molasses, candied fruit and cherries. Yum. Stays strong to the finish. This is a style I am really starting to like - need to seek it out more.

May 22, 2004 Poured a cola brown with a thick tanhead. Aroma of malt, grapes, and licorice. Nice aroma. Flavor has more grapes with mild maltiness. A good beer.

May 18, 2004 I Didn’t care for the aroma but it seems most are liking it. Medium body. Malty nutty earthy bitter flavour, it’s fairly complex.

May 2, 2004 Stout qualities and chocolate notes burst out with the first sip. A heavy ale, but after the first few sips the chocolate and stoutness go away and reveal a nice hearty ale. Very good!

Apr 30, 2004 Poured an amber/brown color with a moderate head and fair lacing. Nice malty cherry plum aroma with a slight metallic note. Medium bodied and slightly creamy, with lots of toasty caramel in the flavor, notes of chocolate and butterscotch or vanilla and a hint of smokiness. Finished dry with a solid bitterness. First class. Bottled.

Apr 26, 2004 Bottle. Has a deep ruby color and starts with a HUGE off-white foamy head. The head fades to a light covering. Aroma is dirt with chocolate cake and cinnamon. The taste is a slight caramel with tangerine. Ends on an unpleasant a sour note.

Apr 24, 2004 Pours a burnt amber colour with a big lingering head diminishing eventually to a sheet of lace. Aroma is of roasted coffee and caramel. Flavour is very nutty (hazelnuts, walnuts) and bitter with some apple caramel and banana hiding in the back. This is a darn good beer, I wish Grail was at least this good. There is a bit of a funky aftertaste though.
