Clear dark brown pour with a thin light brown head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate and burned caramel. Interesting flavor of malt, chocolate and caramel. The body is light with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. 11 ma;ts and 11 hops? It seems they tried to do too much with this beer, keeping it simple would have made a better beer.

Jun 8, 2008 Dark, porter-like pour with a smaller, creamy head. Sweet, very nutty caramel aroma. Sweet, very hoppy flavor, like candied walnuts and pine needles.

Jun 4, 2008 Dark burgundy-brown with a thin yet tightly packed tan head. Tremendously inviting nose. Wonderful mouthfeel. Thick, velvety texture with a complementing level of carbonation. Rich malts were filled with toffee, chocolate, peat, dark grains, earth and freshly baked multigrain bread. Hops were grassy; somewhat drying bitterness in the finish. Other aromas of dark fruit and pine. Big alcohol was hidden fairly well, soft and soothing. What a great beer!
