Bottle from Cindirene’s. Pours copper with off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, with earthy and spicy yeasty notes. Tastes caramel malty, with some fruit, tannins, yeasty esters, and that yeasty twang that I get with all FBbeers.

Nov 24, 2009 Nice head with a complex dark amber appearance. Nice aroma with hops and apricot dominating. The first flavor to hit is black cherry. This beer has a kick but I think it needs more hops. Bitterness hits late (about a minute after first taste). Reminds me of German hops/bitterness. Not a beer that I would session.

Nov 17, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark garnet body with a large foamy off-white head that lasted forever. The nose is slightly sweet, toasty, a little coffee, and has a touch of some plum and raisin. The flavor is pretty decent, not too sweet, a little bit of dark fruits, some light peat maybe on the back end. Just a touch of hops on the back end as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, coats the palate well, and lingers for quite some time. Moderate fizzy carbonation. Not something to write home about, but it was pretty drinkable.

Nov 8, 2009 Alcohol aroma with an almost nonexistent head. Charred caramel flavor with noticeable alcohol. Not very smooth.

Nov 1, 2009 I was fairly disappointed in this. The taste was somewhere between a yeasty belgian and a spiced pumpkin ale to me. I liked that it was working to be something different, but it ended up just a muddy mix of flavors to me.

Oct 27, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Very dark tea color with an active, light tan head. Smooth and creamy looking. Good head retention.
Aroma: A little woodsy, a little light caramel and toasted malt note. Lighter aroma than I was expecting.
Flavor: Light malt, caramel, a little alcohol, a bit of tea, and some wood. Okay, but light in flavor and lacking body.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium, slightly slick mouthfeel and a short, slightly bitter finish.
Overall: Some some reason this just doesn’t strike me as a wee heavy. Not all that impressive.

Oct 26, 2009 Reddish pour. Odd aroma(infected?) sourish, peaty, caramel. Flavor doesn’t indicate an infection. Just ok. Caramel malt and some light hops.

Oct 9, 2009 Bottle courtesy of emacgee. Pretty ruby pour. Aroma is a mix of soured grain and sweet chocolate. Taste is sweet upfront with a tingle of alcohol to finish. Flavorful but the aftertaste is a little disheartening.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cavie. Not digging the aroma. Smells like stale chocolate and a little bitter baking cocoa. Taste is subtle yet great. Malts, a touch of hops, caramel, and some earthy notes. Aftertaste is lasting and malty.
