Jan 27, 2004 This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of mostly lasting off white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lace. The body is a softly carbonated transparent dark brown color and the aroma is extremely nice with a lot of variance to include malt, caramel, plum, dark chocolate. The mouth feel is smooth, on the thin side and has an aftertaste that is a bit off and weird. Disturbing after that wonderful aroma. The flavor does not kick in immediately. Instead it waits for the aftertaste to settle. The flavor contains notes of dark malt, plum, dark chocolate and a little of something else. What a let down after that aroma.

Oct 22, 2003 Thanks to BigBadBear63 for the bomber of 4 Horsemen he sent me, You are a BigBadAss!
WoW what a marvelous looking brew! The deepest hues of burgundy radiate from the glass, as a throng of a cream tinted head begins to settle, it will take several minutes for this rocky avalanche to retreat.
The aroma is a splendid cornucopia of sweet malts and dark pit fruits. Plums, plums, more luscious ripened plums, Apricots, caramel, loads of malts, that bring an insane sweetness, some notes of chocolate, and orange blossoms.
But mournfully the flavor is not amply complex, I just don’t see how this can happen. Truth be told though, it is still wonderful; I even find notes of a smoky cinder hiding in between the fruitiness. The palate is a bit liquid for what I was expecting, but Really, Seriously, come to you senses man; This is a great treat, Thanks again Mike!

Jul 8, 2003 Vibrant orangey dark amber. Heavy caramel aroma, with vague nuts and brown bread crust. Long earth and caramel notes in the palate. Sweet toffee and toast in the finish.

Jul 7, 2003 Decent caramelly malts and slight touch of hops at the finish, but overall a very thin and watery beer.

Jul 2, 2003 Well I'm finally getting around to rating this...Amber hue, small rocky white head and some lace, medium-bodied. Caramel, grassy, chocolate, and nutty aroma. Well balanced with a nice sweet nutty undertone. Creamy and slighty dry mouthfeel. Hint of alcohol on the finish. A very good Irish Ale (from the land of the ND Fighting Irish)
