Dark mahogany, almost an opaque dark brown. Small cream colored head leaves small clumps of lace.
Sweet and roasty malts. Roasted barley, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, fig, apricot and hints of banana and apples.
Sweet toffee and caramel malt flavors predominate, but are pretty balanced by a dry roastiness and mild hop presence. Some banana and buttery diacetyl notes.
Soft carbonation, medium bodied, not quite full to be rated higher. Drinks okay, if you’re in the mood for sweet and buttery caramalt pie.

Oct 11, 2008 Draft from Liberty Taproom. Nice dark color with a tannish red head. Very malty aroma with a hint of chocolate, with matching taste. Nice body, dangerously easy to drink.

Oct 9, 2008 Tap @ brewpub. Clear dark cola color, short head. Thin aroma of malt, some caramel. Taste of some smoke, malt. Good malty body, which makes up for the thin aroma.

Oct 8, 2008 This was the 17th beer I tried at Central Florida Beerfest 2008. I could taste yeast and it was very rich and full of flavor.

Oct 8, 2008 dark brown almost opaque pour with a lasting tan head, lighter mouth feel which is something I prefer, light carbonation as well, another plus. Aroma of smoked wood and light alcohol, alcohol is not present at all in taste. slightly dry and a mild bitter finish. All around this is a very drinkable and beer.

Oct 8, 2008 12 oz can. Pours a dark brown with red highlights. The head is cream with lacing and good retention. The aroma is rich with black licorice, mocha and roasted malts. The taste is similar to the aroma. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The finish is medium in duration with lingering black licorice. Overall: Another great beer in a can. Recommended.
