Jun 21, 2008 bottle courtesy of daknole. black pour with a small espresso head. very sour scent along with a small amount of roasted malts. thick roasted malt flavor that finished with a sour/funkness due to the pomegranate i’m guessing. this brew does overall get better as it warms.

Oct 12, 2008 12 oz bottle as a trade extra from Emacgee. Almost black in color with a tan head. Aroma of roast, a touch of chocolate. Taste is roasty with some chocolate, mildly fruity from the pommegranate, a bit on the thin side, but enjoyable enough. Finishes with a light hop bitterness. Thanks Ethan for sending this my way.

Jun 28, 2008 12 oz bottle shared by toncatcher. Aromas were roasted malts and berries. Lots more roastiness in the flavor with just touches of the fruit that I could smell. A very interesting flavor combination. Not too bad.

Sep 8, 2009 Why does the bottle say malt beverage? I can tell you that didn’t really drive me to want to drink it. I must be missing something, either that or i should have waited when it was a bit colder to drink this baby. A little too sweet for my taste. Dark muddy black, nothing to see here- medium sized creamy tan head. Aroma was sweet with chocolate, pomme.Taste was sort of annoying with the sweetness. a bitunbalanced in my opinion. Anway, thanks kayla!

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle, thanks to lithy. Pours black with very small tan head. The aroma is on the fruity side with berries and pomegranate, with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, wet wood, and anise. The flavor is roasted sourness with that strong fruit element agaiin. Then come notes of chocolate and tannin. Finish is spice, berries, and toasted wood. Interesting beer.
