Jan 7, 2008 Thanks Skyview. Growler. The beer pours to a deep brown body with a non-existent head. The flavor is sweet milk chocolate chips, honey, rye. Surprisingly balanced. The aroma is chocolate, rye, honey. The palate is carbonated heavily. Sweet.

Jan 5, 2008 Semi-hazed and medium chocolate colored with nothing on top. Sweet Hershey’s chocolate and almond like Nutella glaze joins a touch of pooled mocha coolers for the aromatic component. Flavor rings in with gritty, nutty and chocolaty dust for a cocoa-esque camp composure. Subtle carbonation and Symphony-like chocolate bars work well together in their complimentary intonations. Velvety chocolate enfolds a sweet, moderate nectar like kick on the way out. Thanks, Bob!

Dec 17, 2007 Cheesehead YeAH 2007, thanks yet again Bob (Skyview), YEAH A South Dakota rating without the road trip!
Deep brown with a frothy fading beige head, okay lace. The aroma has notes of charred and toasted malt, rye for sure, plum and chocolate vapours, and even a hint of woody earthy qualities. The taste has a nice twang of fruit, bittersweet chocolate and rye bread with a finish of smoke and clove. I did not find any honey in this beer. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing. A nice brew overall.

Dec 17, 2007 Thanks to Bob for bringing the growler for my South Dakota rating! Poured clear medium-deep brown with a loose ring of beige head. The aroma picked up lots of sweeter chocolates and honey with a lot of simple sugars apparent.. sweet overall and rather enjoyable. The flavor found sweet chocolate and honey again with a decently high rye spicage leaving a lasting impression.. still lots of simpler sugars.. sweet, medium-length finish. Medium-bodied and a bit too sweet for my liking.. lighter bitterness and an OK feel on the palate.

Nov 5, 2007 On draught at the Firehouse brewpub in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a light tan head that has some good retention and sticky lacing inside the glass. Aroma of roasted multi-grain malt, quite fruity character with light scent of dry rye and honey. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of sweet rye, honey and a touch of earthy spice. Finish is quite smooth, a little slick with a dry malt aftertaste with no noticable bitterness. A terrific hybrid porter with a touch of honey.
