Mar 5, 2005 Bottle: Nice aroma. Very malty with lots of chocolate and toffee. Real reddish-brown with a small off-white head that is short lasting. Very sweet up front. Finishes with lots of chocolate and toffee just like the aroma but also some roastiness. The initial sweetness slowly changes to a tartness in the finish.

Nov 23, 2004 Nothing exceptional. Pours dark amber with a fleeting beige head. Nose has smoke, soy sauce, anise. Light bodied. Flavor was interesting. Unusual, perhaps, is better. Complex yet not special.

Aug 11, 2004 Dark copper color with zilch head. Aroma was pretty dull with nothing really noticeable but a trace of smoke. Little bits of hops and malt in the taste. How is this an alt? It tastes like... nothing.

Aug 4, 2004 Poured from the bottle at Chocolate Moose, Ely, Minnesota - great place. Dark copper color, decent sized off-white head; good thick lacing. Flavor has elements of dates and raisins with just enough hop bitterness to keep it balanced and interesting. Aroma has elements of caramel and toffee. Damn good alt.

Jul 16, 2004 12 oz bottle. Extremely dark, translucent cola brown. Small lasting tan head. Big earthy acerbic aroma: black licorice, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, yummy. Delightful body, rich and full, with light carbonation apparent mostly near the finish. Chocolate, nuts, toasted grain, with a strong coffee ground finishing bitterness. Excellent.

Apr 29, 2004 Updated: Aug 28, 20042004 bottle. Light fiery red color, decent beige colored head. Very clear. Not much of a smell, a bit of caramel and barley, maybe a touch of hops. Flavor is quite dry, grains, and a bit of caramel malt. Hops are mildly sharp on the finish. Tastes like mineral water and body is medium-light with a firm carbonation. No real complexity. I’m not seein the smoked malts, nor does the brewer mention them. This just tastes like an average amber ale.
