Extremely different scent, coming as I’ve heard from the wood on the barrels (Cypress?)
Dark red-brown color
brown head
fruity but thin, low bitterness and virtually no after taste
I came to think a lot of rotten meat... CapFlu (3491), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 8, 2006 (Bottle) Purchased at Beers of the World in Rochester, NY. Pours a large tan frothy head which dissipates into a thin film and a deep reddish-brown body. Nose of toasted malt, caramel slim coffee. Flavour of roasted malt, tin, vanilla, sour cream and pennies. Not bad but pretty good for a Gulf State! Cheers chilehead (186), Laguna Niguel, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 28, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with no freshness date. Made a good appearance, poured a ruby hued chocolate brown with a nice foamy pale tan head that reduced to a thin lacing and a minimal amount of sticking. Had a very faint sweet caramel aroma, with whiffs of toasted grain and barley and an alcoholic ripe fruitiness. Moderate carbonation and a medium bodied mouth feel, decent drinkability. Taste was at first a dark ripe fruitiness, followed by a soft bitterness and a watery caramel finish with a sweet metallic flavor lingering in the palate.
