May 22, 2008 Bottle... Miami Beach Spring Beer Fling ’08 ... Murky brown ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The nose provides notes of chocolate, nuts, yeasty bread and praline. Medium-bodied and abrasive with lively carbonation. Leans way onto the bitter side of balance. Crisp, bitter, roasted finish. Thanks to mgumby10 for sharing the bottle!

May 22, 2008 Nice and super dark roast. Great deep brown with a spicy nose... Mexican chocolate perhaps. Smooth and flaverfull with a firm laceing. Clasic quality hoping and a touch of bitter to the finish.

May 21, 2008 500mL bottle, no date. Clear ruby brown with one finger beige head, fair retention. Aroma is full of toasted grain and toasty hazelnuts--not sweet hazelnut extract like Rogue Hazelnut Brown--with some light vanilla and roasted grain in the background. Flavor has even more roast than the aroma had led on, with some added piney hops. The nuts and toasted grain is still there, but seems to take a bit of a backseat. Bone dry finish with some lingering bitterness peaking around a 3-4. Moderate carbonation that’s creamy and prickly with a light to medium body. This turned out to be pretty tasty, and a not so run-of-the-mill brown ale.

May 16, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown with ruby hints and a good sized mocha head. Aroma is rich and roasty, with great notes of coffee and chocolate, and a surprising hit of hops. Flavour follows the aroma, with some nice nuttiness coming through before the hops kick in. Seems to be bordering on being a porter, which is fine by me. Great stuff!
