Oct 24, 2005 This pours rich and dark brown with a thin head as expected from a cask.
Malty aroma with a subtle hop aroma.
Well balanced, slightly sweet but not without a smooth hops finish. The cask does this brew well. Smooth and filling.

Nov 18, 2008 Draft at Brewpub. Pours a dark mahogany amber with an off white head. Caramel and citrusy nose. Medium bodied, but with that Sierra Nevada like clean texture. Malt back bone is strong, with notes of nuts, dark caramel, and rye. This is countered by a moderate west coast style bitterness, which is piney and citrusy, with even a hint of mint. Finish is semi dry and hoppy. Not bad. I wish Blackstone would keep an aggressively hopped beer on tap full time.

Nov 13, 2007 8 hour growler brought in by BossHossBikes, thanks man! Pours a darkish brown which is rather crystalline. Not much head is evident here. Aroma reminds me of a barleywine with sweet caramelly tobacco scents. Thin hops, bread, and dry fruit tones round things out. After a sip, I ween my opinion away from barleywine and more to brown ale, maybe a Scottish ale. The finish is bittersweet with a milky sweetness and a lingering, papery sting. Brown sugar, almonds, peanut skins, and powdered milk are hinted at. Pretty decent. I’m not sure that "American Strong Ale" is appropriate here. No real focus is given to the hops here, it’s all about the malts. Blackstone continues to make pretty decent beers in our sparse TN scene.

Oct 6, 2006 Draft at the brewpub. A nice rich aroma of sweet fragrant hops. Very nice, sweet with a bold hop body to it. Good balance with both the malt and hops getting to show off a little bit. Nice crisp feel, on this appealing reddish orange brew. Reminded me a little bit of Nosferatu.
