lunaticharness (183), Roseville, Michigan, USA Jan 15, 2004 a very creamy woody smoky body with many port accents, came out kind of light medium brown and then gained a ruby tint - the head was small and cream like around the glass, a very soft chocolate background with a rush of nutty port flavor and dryness, a very dry oily feel as it creeps down
beersucks (4), USA does not count Jan 20, 2008 Overall great beer. Nice lucious creamy mouthfeel, with a smokey sweetness I enjoyed getting used to. Styles (1654), Taylor, Michigan, USA Oct 27, 2007 Sample courtesy of lunaticharness. Batch 1. Dark brown, light beige head. Huge aroma of chocolate and cherry, slight lacto. Flavor much the same, very vinous up front. Huge chocolate and roast through and through, slight sourness settimg in. Everything blends together quite nice. rb (15), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 21, 2007 brown, quite dry, chocolate like, medium bodied, not bad but I’ve had better kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 05/20/2006<br />
