10-oz glass at Hopleaf in Chicago. Dark mahogany with a lasting touch of creamy head...rich, deep malty nose with lots of sweet caramel and plum...body more plummy, slightly peppery-alcoholic (nicely warming, not harsh), moderately sweet and lightly yeasty-musty. Really nice, just a solid simple pleasant-drinking beer to go with the excellent rustic rabbit I was eating.

Oct 13, 2008 Aroma of malt. Coffee colour with a large off white head. Tastes of malt its an ok beer but not much to it.

Oct 7, 2008 Color is deep ruby brown. Pours with lacy, foamy but vanishing head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, fruity. Mild, sweet malty flavor is syrupy and metallic with sweet yeasty finishing. Palate is medium-bodied and quite much, foamy carbonated.

Oct 4, 2008 Draft at the Brickskeller, D.C. Very cloudy pour, with a surprising degree of carbonation. Nothing oily about the mouthfeel, but rather a crisp and effervescent body. Very drinkable, modestly fruity, but not terrifically distinctive.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Deep ruby/brown in colour with lively tan head. Rich, fruity, chocolate malt aroma with orange in the background. Flavour is more chocolate leading to a nice, surprising dry finish. Rich body. Wonderfully balanced beer.
