Oct 31, 2008 In short: An smooth easy drinking fruity and herbal dark ale of some kind. Good stuff.
How: Bottle 12oz, age unknown but drank before best-before date. Graciously sent to me by Hellbilly, thanks a lot Joshua
The look: Very dark ruby body topped by a small long-lasting beige head
In long: Nose of molasses, toffee and herbs. Taste is soft molasses, soft toffee along, juicy dark fruits and herbal flavours of “green stuff” family (green tea, laurels, thyme, fine herbs, that type of stuff..). No bitterness to speak of but the herbal flavours provide some kind of offset (that I wouldn’t call balance) to the soft sweetness flavours. Body is light and soft, carbonation is very smooth. Not a very tasty beer but every flavour finds its little spot and the end-result is a highly drinkable beer, and I wanted more after my bottle. Blind test I would have called Dunkel Bock or something like that. Inspired by a Belgian beer drank some 500 years ago, back when each beer you drank made women look 5 pounds heavier, the exact opposite of today.

Oct 28, 2008 Not bad at all. Pours a nice dark brown color with little head. Little specks of lacing cling on the glass. Nice smokey flavor with some chocolate and espresso mixed in. A great fallback if you’re in CO, easily found at most liquor stores.
