One of the best IBA’s I’ve ever had. Unfortunately for this beer, it was stuck between tasting Burton Baton and Midas Touch, which clouded my judgement a bit, but it was very good.

Very dark brown pour, 1/4 inch quick fading head. Nutty aroma, Nutty taste, too much malt. The alcohol really stands out the most as far as taste goes. Okay

6 pack of 12 ozers from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured an ultra deep brown with a creamy and puffy tan head. Aroma is of coffee and molasses. Flavor reflects the aroma, with a little hop balance. Well carbonated and creamy to the palate. Another brilliant DFH beer. This is by far my favorite brewery.

Poured a deep brown with a fluffy beige head. HUGE nose of coffee and molasses is echoed in the mouth along with a slight hoppy zing.Sweet finish.

Wonderfully well balanced. Aroma is smoky and sweet. Mouthfeel isn’t quite syrupy, but it’s definitely full bodied. Flavours of maple syrup, rich malt, coffee, smoke, taffy, and alcohol. A very drinkable brown ale, much more facinating than what is on the market today. Sampled on tap at DFH Brewpub.

From a bottle purchased from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark deep brown and mildly chestnut hue with a thin yet creamy tan head. Rich roasty, nutty, mealy, and grainy nose. Apparent hop spiciness, but predominantly malty and with a dryish grain finish. A meal in a bottle.
