bw1982 (5), , Arizona, USA does not count Aug 29, 2008 Aroma: very subtle, almost too much so. Appearance: head comes out nice, but lacing doesn’t last, very dark honeyed brown color. Flavor: there are a lot of different things going on, there are dark fruits, some honey, quite a bit of bitterness, but something tasts slightly off. Palate: definitely hides the alcohol well, i believe with sweentess. style is thin, but overall a pretty good representation of the style. Palidor19 (1276), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 28, 2008 This one is not as good as the others, the bitterness is unpleasant and their is a soy sauce like saltiness to it. Not my favorite JCB (1001), Durham, North Carolina, USA Aug 27, 2008 750 from Carytown Wine and Beer, Richmond (RIP). Clear amber pour, with not a whole lot of carbonation going on. Overriding sweet malts in the aroma, lacking much in the way of spice notes or anything particularly complex. A tad boozy at the start, though there are elements of yeast and some pepper in there to give some depth to the brew. Slick malty finish, makes this an average strong ale. mulletman69 (10), USA Aug 26, 2008 had it at ds hot dogz and six pax... definiately decent, but certainly not one of my favorites TikiE (337), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Aug 23, 2008 Bottled: thanks Cwis. Pours a heavy ruby color with a off white head. Smells of grape and it tastes of plum and grape that ends sweet, that finish with a hint of bitterness. OK beer.
