Mar 17, 2009 12-ounce bottle in Albuquerque. Pours a clear mahogany with a light white head and lace. Light malty aroma. Big body and rich, full, creamy mouthfeel. Nice clean malty flavors. Even dry/sweet malty flavor balance with a clean finish. Very subtle hop flavor and underlying bitterness. Great flavor profile. Late non-complex sweetness but doesn’t distract too much overall.

Feb 25, 2009 Draft. Included as part of a sampler at the brewpub in Vegas. I remembered liking pretty much everything but do not remember specifics. Definitely surprised by the high quality from what is essentially a chain restaurant.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle. Clear medium-dark brown pour with decent off-white head. Brown sugar and caramel malts are pretty dominant here. Not much else going on. Decent I’d you want something sweet, I guess.

Jan 19, 2009 bottled on 11/5/08 consumed 12/18/08.
pours clear but rich... fairly dark auburn brown with a soft tannish head and random lace spots.
lots of fruit in the nose... bananas, stone fruit and vinous/red wine along with some brown sugar and nuttiness.
the palate is a bit harsh/rough... luckily, or in my case not, there’s a bunch of molasses and caramely sweetness to help smooth it out. flavors of grain, more fruit and a touch of smokiness with a dry spicy finish. the alcohol gets floral and hot as it warms. medium body with a slick buttery mouth feel. there’s a substance to the body which reminds me of chestnut flour/starch.
not bad. though a bit syrupy, hot and uninspiring. 7/3/5/3/13/3.1
