Pours a deep amber with a thin, creamy, tan head. Weak retention and no lacing. Olive juice nose and taste. A bit of rotten vegetables. Beets. Metals. Just gross.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 25, 2009 The aroma is very toasted with chocolate, toffee, and earth. The appearance is brown with an average head. The taste is like the aroma and it has a bitter sweet finish. The palate is thin but Ok for the style. Overall this is pretty good.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Smells a bit like a Cow Tail or Bulls Eye - one of those caramel candies filled with vanilla creme. Flavor is caramel malt with a medium body. Surprisingly good from a brewer I otherwise don’t care for. Arayaga2 (973), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Reddish brown black with a beautiful tan head and lacing. Aroma is muted, but contains sulfur and light roasty notes. Taste is one-dimensionally roasty with some breadiness and residual sweetness. Worty aftertaste, with tootsie-roll exhalations. $2/12oz hopscotch (5493), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle… Pours clear and very dark. When held up to bright light, I see ruby. Small, creamy, khaki head. Good retention. The nose is a swirl of NYC street-vendor candied cashews, vanilla, chocolate, espresso and mild campfire smoke. Medium to full-bodied with fizzy carbonation. The sweet, malty flavor runs parallel to the aroma – toasted nuttiness alongside mocha and a splash of vintage port that lingers well into the finish. A careful, conservative hop schedule and black malt bitterness prevent the sweetness from running absolutely rampant. Underrated. Ron (1023), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Pours a deep amber color with an off white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, toffee, roast, and brown sugar. Flavor is malty, caramel, toffee, roast, and a sugary finish. Rciesla (3700), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Bottle, pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Malty nutty tones, some light caramel and toffee notes, a fully body with a decent etoh warming and some lighter fruit esters. Hint of smoke malt and an earth y toned finish. Decent.
