Wow, Ireally enjoyed this beer. Pour is very dark rich-looking brown. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Flavor is very similar to nose, and is full-bodied and rich. Really great stuff. beerchugger (285), Colorado, USA Apr 26, 2009 Updated: Jun 21, 2009Pours a deep amber. What little head did form disappeared immediately. Smells of rich caramelized malts and toffee. Tastes very sweet from the malts. It contains a hint of chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and definitely cream. Finishes rather sweet and innocent. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 22, 2009 Can pours a khaki head that rings the glass throughout and a cola colored body. Smells of toast and brown sugar. Tastes of light toast and brown sugar. decent body and finish. thefrutigers (100), , Arizona, USA Apr 21, 2009 can: pours a deep dark brown, but light does pass through. Smells roasted malt, molasses, and carmel. Flavor is mostly sweet only a tiny bit of bitterness. Light toasted malt flavor. Mouth was slighty thick. Overall... Very good, tasty, and very drinkable. Not nearly as good as Ale Smith’s. but way cheaper! DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA Apr 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 11, 2009This beer was mentioned on a recent internet discussion, so I added it to my list of things to try. I was shocked to find it was a canned beer and thought someone was pulling my leg. They weren’t. This is one great beer. Poured it into a glass and the aroma was so incredibly inviting I couldn’t believe it. Clean, smooth and mellow, yet very full, warming and strong. UPDATED: After having several of these, they can definitely be a bit too sweet sometimes. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA Apr 18, 2009 Pours a mahogany color with a tan head. Aroma is of smoked and toasted malts, and a little hint of alcohol. Sweet flavor with smoked and toasted malts, and dark fruits. Finishes a little bitter with a hint of of some alcohol warming. osu97gp (168), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 18, 2009 Can. Pours a mahogany color with a quickly dissapating head. Aroma is smoky and of malts. Flavor matches the aroma. Good.
