Oct 19, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with ruby-hued edges and a thinnish, off-white head.
Smell: Toasty dark maltiness with a pinch of unsweetened cocoa and a pervasive grape and prune fruitiness.
Taste: Dark malts tasting a bit chocolaty, a bit toasty, but not overly deep in overall character. Tart, twangy fruitiness lurking in there. Very light bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: Not at all good, unfortunately. I’d recommend you steer well clear of this one and have a Henry or Isabel instead.

Oct 11, 2008 Updated: Oct 12, 2008Pours a dark brown root beer like color, very low in carbonation. Extremely light lacing. Smells nicely of rich deep malts. First taste is surprisingly flat tasting with some caramel notes present. Awful mouthfeel as there is a severe lack of carbonation. How can something smell so promising be so disappointing?

Aug 24, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of argo0. Pours a murky, golden-cola color; thin off-white head. Cola, lightly tart citrus, and basic, bready yeastiness in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: again, slightly tart citrus and cola upfront; touch of tannins and roughness on the edges; light tartness, almost like a very slight infection emerging (hard to say); basic presence overall; lightly toasty and mildly tarted-up cola. Lengthy finish: cola, lightly tannic maltiness, and some citrus.
