Mar 2, 2005 Can...This beer rocks! Malt, malt, malt! Beautiful, crystal clear, mahogany ale with a huge, rocky, beige head. Decent retention and terrific, splattered lacing. The aroma and flavor are all about chocolate, caramel, beechwood and light smoke. Medium-bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation. Malty finish. The fairly high ABV is very well-hidden. This stuff really "hits and sticks!" What can I say? This beer is totally "my thing!" Thanks springslicker for this excellent example of my favorite style!

Nov 18, 2004 I gotta say it’s been a long time since I’ve had canned beer. Pours a rich dark brown with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is sweet and malty with lots of dry caramel and toffee, with a touch of smoke and roastiness. Starts with a sugary sweet malty body with some woody earthy notes to it. Finishes dry, yet sticky and sort of unbalanced with a very bitter, dry distant lingering flavor.

Feb 14, 2005 The Lure:
Enticing sweet chocolate fumes proliferate within the enigmatic earthy smoke. Fat and forest funk merge well and never become overpowering. Definitely the best aroma from a can, ever.
The Festivities:
Everything sadly becomes either complacent or missing in action, as a vague malt roastiness complains about the absence of its sweet friends. Mouthfeel is watery and tired, again a surprise considering the richness of the aroma. Maybe an aged sample.
Transcendence:
A couch potato can have some great ideas, but usually nobody benefits from them.

Oct 13, 2007 Canned. Dark reddish brown coloured. Huge dense light brown head. Caramel, brown sugar, molasses, light notes of ripe fruits and some spice. Flavour is sweet and full of brown sugar. Has some alcoholnotes, a light herbal note. Some ripe fruits and a very light note of liqourice. Is quite full bodied. A light dryness. Is slightly bitter maybe from the alcohol. Quite quite easy to drink, but gives a least me a light buzz. Not used to these high octane US beers no more, but I still like.

Mar 11, 2006 12oz can from CMUBEERMAN. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells spicey with some malty notes. Tastes slightly vegetal with dough, spice, nuts, and some rosey hints. Finishes sweet with more spicey elements.

Aug 26, 2006 Dark brown beer, thick creamy tan head. Really gorgeous looking brew. Lovely aroma of sweet rye bread, dark toasty nuttiness with a lovely soft peaty smokiness over the rich bready/toasty malts. Nice caramelly sweetness as well. Falvour shows a lovely deep complex maltiness. Sweet malts play off of the peaty smokiness. A bit of cherry appears in the background as well. Thick, creamy texture. Chewy/malty body with lingering nuttiness and a bit of herbal finish. As it warms more chocolate notes come forth. REally gorgeous brew.
