Mar 4, 2008 Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Smells like caramel and just sweet malt. Flavor pretty much follows the aroma with the malt dominating. The beer is a little thin and watery though. Not what I would describe as a winter brew.

Feb 14, 2008 Slight off-white head. Dark brown color. Faint malty aroma, perhaps a bit of burnt coffee? Taste was slightly bitter, faint hop and malt flavor, mostly a toasty flavor. Thin, almost oily body. Overall, not a lot to it.

Jan 11, 2008 Very dark bodied beer with a thin short lasting tan head. Aroma is malt and brown sugar. Flavors of roasted nuts, chocolate, and a surprising hop bite. Exceptional for a lager.

Jan 11, 2008 Pours an amber brown with very little head. Nutty, hop aroma. Taste is light. An almost watered-sweetness. Fruit and nuts. Pretty good but I like a more hearty winter beer.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, Harry’s bottle. Very dark brown, small white head. Burnt cola aroma, quite nice actually. That same burnt cola appears int he taste as well, good malt base here, somewhat dry. I wish I took more notes, as I really enjoyed this one.
