Thanks turdferguson for sharing. Pours a dark copper/brown with some deep ruby notes. The nose was pretty interesting. Not good, interesting. Smells malty, plasticy, DMS?/vegetal, phenolic, not too good on the nose. The flavor is just no good, malty, some mild hop bite, old caramel, tobacco, shoe leather, and turd tasted some molasses. Palate is just gross, terrible hop feel with an undesirable astringency and some plastic taste.

Bottle thanks to cbkshubert. Pours dark reddish brown with lovely beige head. The aroma is sweet caramel and raisin with some chocolate and lots of nuttiness. The flavor is toast, caramel, roasted barley, and a strange ashen earthiness that I can’t seem to put my finger on. It finishes with nuts and a grassy hay note that I assume is the Saaz hops mentioned in the description. There’s a sourish sassafrass note that comes and goes, too. Interesting beer at least.

Courtesy Sparky27. Very dark brown pour with an inch and a half of rocky tan foam. Aroma of light roast and pronounced grassy hops. Flavor of toasty cookie malt, a nutty sweetness somewhere between brown sugar and molasses, some grassy, moderately bitter, and drying hops, and a bit of a twang on the end. Medium body, softly balanced carbonation. Smooth, easy to drink. Solid brown ale- great malt notes balanced and dried enough by the hops to make it very sessionable. Not sure if the twang on the end was intentional, but it works well with the other elements.

nutty with an unusual play-doh aroma. Pours dark copper brown, no head. Nutty, brown sugar, sour finish. On the marketing side, that label is downright creepy. Planet of the Apes meets Caligula.

Bottle bonused in trade from rustychiles. Thanks Rusty!
Pours a nice semi hazy brown color. Smell is nutty, chocolatey, toasty malt. Taste is dark nutty malt, somewhat chocolatey, a touch of fruitiness, slight char with a noticeable hop presence and bitterness in the end. Some coffee as well. Body is light to medium with normal carbonation. Flavorful and easy drinking. Pretty good brown ale.

Bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with a 2 finger grayish tan head and nice lacing. Nose is earthy with light coffee, nuts, and chocolate malt. Taste is pretty much the same with a light coffee/chocolate milk finish. Light mouth feel. Not a bad brown - could use a bit more fullness to the body.

Bottle. Dark brown. Thin head. Nice coffee scent like opening a bag of beans. Brown malt and coffee flavour with a brown sugar finish. As you drink a bit of sourness settles in.

Wow, stumbled upon this in Wal-Mart of all places. For a dark beer this is very smooth and drinkable. A well crafted full-bodied beer. It has been a while since I have tasted a beer this good
