(Cask. 03/2006) This should probably be classified as its own, unique brew. It was awesomel. Served from the cask with natural, soft carbonation, this presented wonderful, grassy, floral hop aromas balanced by chocolate, roasted barley, and deep earthy aromas with hints of dried fruits. Some oxidation was occurring -- which just enhanced this beer over the several days it was available Wonderful chocolate and notes of burnt toast with fig/date preserves for jam, full-bodied, yeasty, nutty, wonderful.

Jul 20, 2006 On tap @ Hopyard poured a clear dark brown with a small creamy lasting head. Aromas of cocoa, roasted malt, hint of nuts and a hint of coffee. Palate was light bodied and creamy smooth. Flavors of cocoa, roasted malt, a hint of coffee and nuts with a smooth semi sweet finish.

Jun 11, 2006 tap. Dark brown with a huge frothy head. The flavor as well as the aromas are dominated by roasted malts and nuts. The body is more solid than most brown ales. Nice bitter sweet finish.
