craftycarl21 (513), South Hero, Vermont, USA Oct 30, 2008 dark brown with aroma of malt, cream, and a bit of smokiness. Very tasty flavor- silky smooth malty flavor with some sweet notes. Really tasty. graham515 (420), Houston, Texas, USA Oct 30, 2008 Pours a brownish red into the glass with a thin head. Aroma is very sweet with some maple syrup and spice coming to the nose. Very smooth across the palate with a nice flavor profile that includes caramel and chocolate with a slight vanilla sweetness. Alcohol is very cleverly disguised in this beer. A really nice beer for a cool evening. GMCC2181 (846), Bear, Delaware, USA Oct 29, 2008 Can. Dark brown in color, small head. Aroma of sweet malt, nuts and some brown sugar. Taste is sweet, sugary malty, hint of chocolate. The texture is above medium but not thick. Easy to drink, not my favorite style but still a decent beer. oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Oct 29, 2008 Pours dark red with nice sized head. Aroma is loaded with caramel malt with a good deal of roastyness and some hop presence. Flavor is deliciously well balance- lots of molasses, caramel and come bitter roast.

Decent. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Oct 26, 2008 can - Pours very dark amber with a thin, lasting head. It smells of caramel malt with a hint of dark fruit. The flavor is sweet caramel with lightly roasted malt and a touch of dark fruit. It’s full bodied and smooth with the 8% abv well buried. Nice brew. Jukkabro (2981), Tampere, Finland Oct 26, 2008 Near black colored with red hints, little light brown head. Strongly roasted aroma with sweet caramel, hints of licorice also present with slight alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is also dominated by sweet roastiness, some vinous note also present. Aftertaste is still coffee-roasted with lasting bitter mouthfeel in tongue.
