12 oz bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Pour is cola brown with slight ruby highlights, decent settling builds up a one inch tan head. Thick lacing coats the glass. Aroma of stale roasted maltiness, some natural tobacco earthiness in there too. Not a bad nose. Taste is the slight stale roastiness of the nose, though in the taste it is more akin to weak office coffee mixed with iced tea. Some really faint apple fruit sweetness way in back. Big step down from the nose. Palate is thin to medium, a little of a metallic chemical thing going on. Overall, not much pleasant beyond the nose. Thanks for sending these all my way Eric.

From Sparky27 via trade. The pour was super dark brown with a short, light tan head. No real lacing. Aroma is roasty malts, light hints at smoke and chocolate and even some light spicy hops. The flavor is mostly roasted malt and light chocolate with some sourness sneaking in at times. Middle of road, thin mouthfeel with a finish that was slightly sour.

Bottle thanks to Sparky27. Dark dark brown with a finger of light tan head. Earthy roasty dark malt, aroma borders on chocolatey with some grassy hoppiness. Taste is a dark bitter coffee upfront with some sweetness and molasses coming through and finishes a bit herbal, vegetal, and thin.

12oz bottle-pours a thin tan head with some trailing laceing and dark brown color. Aroma is molasses/chocolate/roasty-dark malt, some earthy hops. Taste is acidic hops first then molasses/chocolate/roasty-dark malt, ashy, which by mid-palate unfortunately disappoints and turns to the thin side. Bottles seem to vary in quality. Notes to this point were first 2 bottles and would be 2.8, next 2 bottles were a cleaner less acidic/thin. Shared with decaturstevo.

12oz bottle, notched Nov. 08, hopefully the bottled on date--thanks to Sparky27 (Eric) for the bottle. Deep brown with a small beige head, fading to a very thin ring--not as thin as the Four Peaks, though. Aroma of oats, some toasted malts, and light roasted malts and nuts. The flavor falls a bit flat and really doesn’t have anything other than some roasty burnt malts. For whatever reason, it loses all sweetness. Bitterness peaks at a 2 in the finish. Thin body with minimal carbonation. Started out decent, but kinda crapped out for me.
