Jun 26, 2009 Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Smells of dark fruit, roasted malt. Tastes chocolatey and sweet with some fruity hints o the finish. Weird vegetal aftertaste.

May 23, 2009 Pitch black coloured body with a thinnish light-brown head - looks pretty sinister! Aroma of roasted malt, raisins, pit fruit, smoke, meat and a bit of mushrooms. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasted malt flavours up front with a deep raisiny and sweet finish and some malt and metal finishing it out. Aftertaste shows a lot of roasty and almost smokey flavours with some nice sweetness at the end, in addition to a little vanilla and oak. Overall, not a bad beer- good to sample, and showing some moderate complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased over a year ago on 25-March-2008 at Goebel Liquor in Wichita, Kansas, sampled at home in Washington on 22-May-2009.

Mar 5, 2009 Pours a brownish color with a one finger tan head. Faint aroma coming through. Some hops and caramel. Nothing memorable about this one.

Feb 7, 2009 my 55/60 state/province. I was not expecting too much, there is a home bias to these lesser known craft beers. That was probably the case here. Mistakely drank it as a stout, it is a porter, and fine for the style. Fresh taste, thank you, but also a bit watery and aggessive carbonation.

Mar 31, 2008 A light beige head tops a black body. The aroma is light roasted coffee with some smoked, honey glazed ham. The taste is bitter, cheap coffee with some woody straw. The finish is like coffee that has been left on the pot all day and boiled down to a gooey tar. The body is highly carbonated. Even with low expectations, this is a let down.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle. Just had a bit of this one on my way out the door. Pours dark brown with a light tan head. Light body and carbonation. Smoke, coffee and pine in the nose and taste. Not so great a brew but you gotta love the label.
