Mar 30, 2008 12oz from a beer club. It’s anonymous in many ways. Looks the part, with a dark ruby/brown body, some crisp carbonation, etc. But it’s quite thin and has very little distinctive flavor going on, with a generic malt profile and zero complexity. Not offensive, but very blah.

Mar 25, 2008 12oz. bottle from a beer club. Dark, reddish brown with just a little bit of haze. Decent head fades quickly to a ring, leaving some lace. Caramel/toffee nose. Very thin on the palate. Picks up a little more character as it warms, but it really isn’t enough to make me like this beer.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle; always thought that I had previously rated this. Poured a red hued brown with a light brown head. Not much head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Some fruit and yeasty notes. Flavor was about what you would expect for the style, but probably a bit below average. Almost watery on the palate. Didn’t like the finish too much; abbreviated and not great tasting; almost chalky.

Mar 1, 2008 Bottle. Dark copper pour but only a small ring of tan foam around the edge of the glass. Aroma is malty and caramelly. Soft toasty notes and a hint of watered down coffee. Taste is toasted malts, caramel, and some fruit notes. Body is light, bordering on thin at times with mild carbonation. Ends with more toasted malts, very faint coffee, caramel and fruit.
