Jan 27, 2006 bottled. Nice deep burgandy-brown crystal-clear pour. Nice roasty-toasty aroma that’s not overdone(like lots of micro’s browns). Flavor leads with understated chocolate malt, hint of brown sugar and finishes sweetly with nice toasty malt. Nice residual sweetness leaves the impression of a rich luxurious beer clear through the clean finish. Wonderful!

Jun 18, 2002 Had a few bottles of this tonight. This brew pours a dark brown ruby. The large rocky
beige head is fully lasting with decent lacing. The cookie like nose is caramel, roasted
chocolate malt, earth, and slight resin and flowers. The bold porterish flavor is deep and
complex with good balance. Low acidity is complimented by a roasted bittersweetness
with a rich coffee and chocolate malt finish that is long and bitter. The outstanding palate
is full, creamy, soft and smooth, with a clean finish. If I tasted this blind, I would swear it
to be a porter. Very well done.

Feb 17, 2006 Bottle from OhioDad Thanks!
Pours a murky brown with a nice head and clinging lace. Aroma is a sweet smoke aroma, with hints of roasted nut and bits of chocolate. Actually, the more I smell it the more prominent the smokiness is. Flavor is a sweet berry-like boquet, with some caramel and candy thrown in the mix as well. The flavor and the palate roll on the tongue in waves; high intensity, lower intensity, high intensity, and rounded out by a subsiding cascade of flavor. I am enjoying this beer. Dad: Send more, eh?!!

Nov 28, 2002 This beer poured a very dark amber color and some carbonation was present. It formed a very good foamy light tan head that held pretty good and left some nice ringed lace as it slowly subsided. The aroma was of hops, malt and coffee. The flavor was of malt and burnt coffee. The finish was a touch lighter than others of this style.

Jan 28, 2002 gee, i’m the first to taste this one, the pressure’s one, i’m suddenly all tongue-tied, i so desparately want to be ’right’. yeh, sure. just kidding. our hometown columbus brew pours mahogany brown, pantone 174, and yeah, there’s foam. what’s remarkable is the dark roasted malt aroma, this stuff is practically cajun, practically a rauchbier. a little maduro cigar and maple note, but upon robust guzzle one finds it’s quite dry. the nut flavor is of roasted chestnuts, the kind somewhat scorched like you buy on the streets of swiss towns. bitter finish. not for everybody, so more for me.
