Appearance: deep reddish brown. Murky, but bright in front of the light. Big fluffy head. *Looks* like a Big Beer. The aroma is heavy raisin and dark grape. Some roasted mocha and coffee. Dark and rich. Hint of dark sweetness. Dark cherries and oak. The taste is bitter, bitter dark marlt. A bit sugary but also slightly sour. Grape, dates, raisins. A MAJOR burn on the way down, like rum. Burnt cookies. The feel is creamy and milky. Smooth and buttery; no grit. This beer is seriously bitter and hefty. A slow sipper and a beast, but a delicious beast.

Dark brown pour with ruby highlights. Nose is of brown sugar, caramel malt, a touch of coffee and some raisin notes. syrupy mouthfeel, sweet toffee and molasses with a touch of earthy hops and a finish of coffee bean. very well balance, yummy

Another very good beer from Dogfish Head. Smooth taste. Average lasting flavor, but one that I’m satisfied with.

Nearly black pour with a frothy tan head. Nose of rich molasses, chocolate, vanilla, and citrus spice. Bitter from roast and hops is this beer. Medium body, creamy texture and a bitter hop finish. All the flavors actually go very well together accenting the natural tastes of each ingredient.

Bottle from Spec’s. Pours a nice tan head, strong aroma of dark dried fruits. Thick, maybe a little syrup, on the tongue. You can feel the alcohol, but it does not overpower. One was enough for me, but I look forward to matching this with food.

Right now my favorite beer. Really opened me up to what brown ales can be. A must buy and try for any dark beer or brown ale lover. Just quit reading this and go buy some, you wont be disappointed.

On tap @ Mad Mex. Pours a dark brown color with a nice tan head. Licorice aroma, some roasted malts, toffee. Very malty body, lots of caramel and roastiness here. Slightly bitter, burnt toast finish. Tasty and quaffable.
