Jan 22, 2009 Hand bottle shared by Dickinsonbeer: Dark pour with a ruby hue in the light - dense tan head lasts. The aroma is light phenols and a touch of roast. Light cocoa, banana and clove. Thick carbonation. Goes down somewhat slow. Flavor starts with a toasted clove hint, some vanilla and other various phenols underneath a raisiny sweetness, which becomes more evident with warmth. Pretty standard.

Jan 20, 2009 Handbottle shared by Dickinsonbeer. Deepish black, liquid foamy head. Aroma is very toasty, sweet malt, not much else. Flavor is very sweet and toasty, a grapey acidity, with really just too much in the way of sugars and caramel. Really not crazy about this.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks! Poured a nearly opaque black dark brown color with some red light coming through around the edge of the glass. I smelled vanilla, caramel, corn sugar, and dry husky grain. Full bodied with some earthy hop flavor accenting malty caramel and vanilla.

Aug 9, 2008 Finally got to try this elusive beer at an open house, and I’m glad I did. Near brown-black in color, this brew has a smooth flavor and mouthfeel, with only the slightest hint of the alcohol it contains. Definite plum flavor, but not overly so. Very nicely done.

Aug 1, 2008 Handbottle from one of my favorite traders...JB175. Thanks!
Pour is dark...close to mahoganny. Big beige head that fades to a nice ring around the glass. Aroma is awesome! Ripe plums, candi sugar and a touch of alcohol. A bit of toffee, chocolate and caramel present too. Dammit! I think this beer soured a bit, but can still tell it was a beauty fresh. Silky mouthfeel good body. Im slightly pissed I didn’t open this sooner.

Jul 5, 2008 Old notes, hand bottle courtesy of dickinsonbeer. Thanks, man! Pours dark brown with no real head to speak of. Tastes nutty with some nice fruity hints, some warming alcohol, touches of sweetness. Finishes with some warming alcohol. Very enjoyable.

Jun 13, 2008 Pours muddy dark brown with no head. Nose is dark fruits, malt and toffee, as is the flavor, in addition to a bit of heat.

May 24, 2008 On tap at Capones. Dark brown with a thin tan head. Nose is caramel, molasses and dark berries. Medium light with tangy carb. Taste is carmelized plum, banana and wood. Bitter grassy finish with some wet hay. Interesting; sneaks up on you.
