Poured dark brown with small fizzy tan head. Nose is drum tobacco, char, alcohol, and a bit of smoke and overlying sweetness. Flavor is more tobacco and sweet unbalanced alcohol. I don’t think I finished all of this one.

Nov 7, 2009 Brown coloured beer with small off-white head and no carbonation visible. Mint aroma with some malty touches. Full creamy palate. Finish is smokey roasted nicely balanced with some bitter touches ending slightly dry.

Sep 5, 2009 Yuck. Actually poured this one out (and it takes a lot for me to actually pour out a brew). Funky aroma of dark fruit, smoke, black pepper, and lemonzest. Flavor is sweet, sour, and peppery...lots of chocolate and tobacco with a weird lactic sourness. Very thin body with little carbonation and visually similar to murky pond water. Avoid!!!

Aug 30, 2009 The appearance is deep red-black. Tall rocky head. In the light it takes on a deep purple. Opaque.
The smell is a very smoky initial aroma wafting. Dark grainy sour(-ish) malt. Dark grapes. Dark and rich and comiplex all around.
The taste is grainy dark toasted barley, topped with heavy smoky BBQ. Ends like a dark, dark ale; like a dark Belgian ale with a sour(-ish) barleywine flavor. Raisins, plums.
The feel is thick but very dry on the tongue. Terrific dry red wine feel. I like this beer despite that it’s sooo dark and wine-like. Pretty good.

Jul 27, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep dark caramel amber - almost brown with a big tight lasting head. Aroma is nutty soy oxidation (bottled May 2007, lgith fruits and a peppery belgian yeastiness- slight dough and cracker with some toffee and molassess sweet hints over the oxidation. Flavor has a bit more of a cardboard malt oxidation- sharp and long drawn out brown malts, old special B dark sharp crystal faded out by now- some phenolic yeastiness, light toasted malts, some nuts and light chocolate, with just hints of slow roast and light char and smoke- gets a bit leathery and slight old apple skins. Finish is a bit papery and rough. A bit too old.

Jul 8, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a nice brown head. Aroma is smoke, dark malts, wood. Flavor is smoke, fruits, wood, barley, dark malts, peat, tobacco, esthers. Bitter metallic herbal funky finish. Strange brew. Really strange. I think I see what the brewer was going for here. A few tweaks to the recipe and this could be amazing, but as it stands it’s quite flawed.
