Feb 12, 2003 A very dark amber color with a light tan head. The aromas of sweet toffee. The flavors of sweet toffee, malts and a nutty finish. A hint of coffee. I thought this was one of Karls best beers.

Nov 2, 2006 On tap at Columbia Street brewery. Clear deep amber color with lasting off white head. Good lacing. Rich roasted malt aroma. Really nice smell. Kind of nutty and caramel and toffee. Flavor starts off coffee then caramel/molasses then a hint of burnt malts. Really nice rich flavor. Very light hop presence.

Feb 2, 2007 The beer had a very dark clear copper color with a reddish tint and off-white head. The aroma had notes of toasted malt and smelled like fresh grain. Notes of coffee and light hops as well. The flavor was of lightly roasted malt and some coffee notes. The was a decent sized hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body.

Dark brown colour. Caramelly, buttery nose with some smokiness. Butterscotchy flavour, light smokey/peaty and buttery malty with smoke again. A somewhat complex brown ale.
