Jun 1, 2008 Growler fresh from the brewery. Brown, red in direct light with a tan and quickly fading head. Soft roasted malts and nuts in the nose, as well as a nicely rounded fruity sweetness. Coffee and plums. Taste is slightly lactic sourness up front, fading to a pleasing grassy note. Then the malts take over: coffee and burnt chocolate malts, some toasted nuts as well. Lots of roast and, again, a simple and slight sweet dark fruit element. Finish is slight, with burnt malt bitterness predominant but no off-putting graininess. Palate is nicely effervescent at the top and fades to a pleasing creaminess as it moves in the mouth - could be slightly thicker overall. Very nice balance between sweet and roasted.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet and very malty with notes of caramel and pumpernickle bread. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of pumpernickle bread combined with a light alcohol tickle on the palate, and also a light note of metal from the alcohol, leading to a bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
