Jul 7, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and murky light amber color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel/toffee, faint hops? Taste is medicinal, aspirin, medium malt-caramel/toffee, yeast. OK carbonation. The aspirin seems to mean a problem in process somewhere. If their beer really is different than this, I would love to rate again. Although I emailed them 2 times in June and as yet have not gotten any reply.

Jan 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of soonah. Pours amber and cloudy with a nice diminishing white head and a good lacing. Smells of citrus, roses, pronounced caramel, hints of flowers, some candied fruit and slightly resiny. Tastes initially bitter with nice sweet citrus, hay, pepper, some hints of spice. Finishes earthy with a touch of bitternedd. Mouthfeel is tingly with some hints of candied ginger. Lots of subtle complexity in this one.

Sep 4, 2009 Amber color with a smallish beige head. Lightly toasted malt, grass and grapefruit in the aromas. I seem to catch a bit of light chocolate and caramel as well. Seems a bit unclean though. Flavors of earthy malt and hops. Bitter finish and the linger is similar. Seems a touch unrefined.

Jan 3, 2009 Medium copper colored body with a rocky light khaki head. Aroma of decent oranges and sharp walnuts. There is also some toast. The taste is sweet with some toasted almonds and hints of citrus. A little over carbonated in my bottles. Decent, but lacking much on hops.

Sep 13, 2009 Sampled during the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, MN as Choc Basement Batch Pale Ale. From a 12-oz bottle pours a clear copper orange colored brew with a thin beige head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus and grapefruit zest, a touch of fruit and some earthy herbs. Flavor is medium bodied, some carbonation with taste of caramel malt, some citrus and grassy hops and touch of fruit. Finish is mildly bitter with some grassy and citrus hop aftertaste that quickly disappears.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear, brilliant lighter orange with a creamy, well-retained cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up dry floral and grassy hops over pale malts and lighter fruit.. not poor components, but it just didn’t pop. The flavor had tacky caramel and bready malts at the core with with light grassy bitterness surrounding.. sticky, almost cardboardey finish. Lighter-bodied and dry on the palate with a poor flow to it. This just wasn’t very good.
