This dark brown ale poured with a nice off-white head, eliciting a caramel-like aroma. The flavor is rich and somewhat fruity (raisins?), with a dry finish. This is a nice brew.

02.20.05 Tap at Toronado BWF Big bubbles over and throughout a dark brown beer. Smells buttery, maybe a bit oxidized. Vanilla and oakey. Light biscuit. Sweet. Little heat or hops. Raisin and fig. So-so but quite drinkable.
