Jan 31, 2009 Tap at Ginger Man. Dark brown-black beer with a thin sticky white head. Aroma is lightly spicy with a soft estery nose. Lots of sweet plums and dates backing that up. There is a bit of soft cocoa and even a little bit of smokiness. Soft sweet maltiness with a lovely richness and a soft fruitiness. Sweet but not at all cloying. Light roastiness with a fairly spicy and estery yeastiness. Light bubble gum and cloves with a little bit of licorice as well. It’s sort of a mix between a stout and a dubbel, and a very tasty one at that.

Feb 12, 2009 I was surprised to find this still on tap at Lunar (Villa Park, IL), since friend Drnk McDermott reported its presence a while back. It poured a dark brown body, clear around the edges, with a modest head that lingered none to long. It had an aroma of dark malt, milk chocolate, and sweet red cherries. Pretty much the same with the flavor, but it all came across a bit thin. Not bad at all.

Apr 29, 2009 On draught at the Sugar Maple tavern in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a creamy beige head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of toasted dark malt, a hint of banana, cherries, dark chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Taste is full bodied, very complex with flavors of toasted dark malt, yeast, a hint of banana and some cherry. Finish is quite smooth and creamy with a semi-sweet chocolate and hint of cherry aftertaste.
