DandyWolfFloyd (225), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA May 27, 2008 Very good! Aro!ma is full of dark malts, with some chocolate as well. It’s not really impressive looks wise, almost no head, and a very average brown body. It’s full of dark malty roasty goodness, with some nice chocolate as well, and just a sprinkling of alcohol. It’s extremely easy drinking. Solid Guinness4Duff (464), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA May 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small beige head. Gives off a chocolatey aroma which is present in the taste along with a roasted flavor. This one is pretty decent. Goodgrief (1018), Middletown, Delaware, USA Apr 12, 2008 Beer pours amber brown with a really nice head that dissipated to nothing in record time. Aroma was sweet bready malts, as was the flavor, with caramel, fruits and a lot of brown sugar. A bit thin and watery, but not horrible. smith4498 (339), Miami, Florida, USA Apr 8, 2008 Pours dark ruby color with light tam head. Fruity and malty aroma. Sweet flavors of dark fruits, candy sugar. Medium to full body with average carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Not bad. Stine (1329), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Apr 2, 2008 Pours lucid and red with a thin skin of white. Firm, fruity aroma of cranberry, raisin, and blackberry; scone and biscuit maltiness, syrupy caramel, and bittersweet reduced rum. Noble hops, light vinegar and toffee. Flavor is primarily raisin, rock candy, and thin vanilla; browned bananas, pistachio, almond. Thoroughly straightforward, and fully likeable. Bits of vinousness, pepper and vegetal hop tones flutter with fitting restraint throughout. Palate is easy and sparkly; light to medium bodied, and almost unnoticeable in swallowing. Finishes with some sugary dough, orange and maple. A completely comfortable, fairly complex and refreshing winter sessioner. Thanks Ken!
