Dec 25, 2008 (bottle - 22 oz) Dark brown chocolate pour with a puffy tan head. Aroma is rich and earthy with hints of malts, caramel, toffee, dates, and cherries. Some chocolate as well. Flavor is dark and earthy as well with some nutty hints mixed with chocolate, toffee, and dark fruits. Blends well and lingers on the tongue for quite a while. Very delicious.

Dec 22, 2008 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep dark caramel color body with a thin, tight toupe colored head that dissipated rather quickly. Scents of booze overwhelm the senses but a nice variety of roasted nuts, toffee and a faint dash of vinegar complete the unique smell. Just as the booze overpowers the smell, it announces its presence with authority in the first sip. A lovely light malt profile breaks through next with some rich toffee and dark fruit. Dried cherries, dates and salted raisens come to mind. The body has a very silky feel on the tongue and despite the smell and flavor there is very little alcohol soak. There is something about this beer, like a sour funky backbone that is really beautifully hidden that makes it intriguing.

Oct 20, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one.
Starts with a tall off-white head over a clear dark brown body.
Malty alcohol aroma.
Nutty sweet with a touch of bitterness from the hops for balance.
Decent beer.

Sep 30, 2008 2007 Bottle shared by decaturstevo. Poured brown with an off-white head that left good lace. A little iced tea aroma at first but settles out to milk chocolate, nut, and a slight hop background. The flavor has caramel, brown sugar, and a hint of fruits. Medium body. Enjoyable!

Aug 8, 2008 Caramel, toasted malts and a slight smokiness come through in the aroma. Orange-brown color beneath a thin head. Flavor is full of toasty and nutty malts. A light hop presence balances the malts with some cocoa flavors in the finish. Thanks rudy.
