May 28, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of Pepsican. Pours a dark brown color with red highlights and a small khaki head. The aroma has cherries, roasted malts and some earthy dust. The flavor is light with more red fruit, a hint of coffee, minerals and chocolate. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The finish is short, dry and slightly astringent. Overall: A very basic, but enjoyable, brew. I recommend it.

May 10, 2008 BOTTLE:Dark with nice lace. Definite chocolate and roasted malt aroma and flavor. Lively palate with a long but minorly dry finish and very earthy.

May 4, 2008 Dark brownish mahogany with small tan head that leaves some fine lace.
Smells of chocolate, toffee, roasted barley, raisin, molasses, some spice.
Tastes much as the nose indicates. Mildly bitter chocolate, raisin, molasses, roasted barley. Big malt flavor without being sweet.
Smooth full mouthfeel despite somewhat aggressive carbonation. Impressively simple.

Mar 25, 2008 Dark red with a creamy tan head. Dark caramel malt, cocoa, vanilla aroma with a hint of DMS. Way bitter for the style. Rather thin in body. Ok flavors of raisin and chocolate but lacking in malt.

Mar 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa ’07. Pours a clear deep red/garnet color with a fizzy disappearing beige head. The aroma is medium sweet caramel, chocoloate malt, and lager yeast. The flavor is pretty straight forward medium sweet caramel, chocolate, and biscuits. Not much in the way of bitterness. This definetly leans to the side of malty. Not bad though; just not very complex.

Mar 3, 2008 interesting pour: dark purple, no head. the aroma so so subtle that i only caught air. the sour-sweet flavor was not enjoyable. the sour finish sticks with you. and the sweetness in the flavor is mush too overpowering for me.
