Paired with the second course was this gem. I’ve been meaning to pick up some for a long time now. After trying it I definitely will revisit it once the cellar gets thinned down a bit. Much like the IPA and Pale Ale it is one of those gateway beers that you could share with someone not really into craft products.
Aroma / Appearance - The brownish red body percolated with carbonation on a short lived head. Black cherry, slightly burnt wood and watered down caramel created a nice malty presentation.
Flavor / Palate - Brown sugar and molasses hit the throat first. Next came bittersweet chocolate. The final ingredient was an earthy finish. A little more complex than the other two it was a nice transition to Founder’s bigger beers. In some ways it reminds me of Stone XIth or other ’dark IPAs’. I’ll definitely have to pick up more at some point.

Jun 24, 2005 12oz. bottle thanks to Mullman. Auburn color with a medium sized tan head. Nice big hoppy aroma with lots of grapefruit and a mildly sweet malt background. Flavor was similar, but the citrus hop flavor pretty much overwhelmed the maltiness. Still very good.

Oct 9, 2008 Sample at WBF. So glad this just came to NC for sale! Crisp, hoppy sweet nose with solid rye malt aroma. Very fresh and fun, and more hoppy than many rye ales. Nice bubbly head atop a copper body. Grass, grains, and citrus. Crisp bitter finish. Lovely.
