Sampled at Eric & Wendy’s "Go to Hell, Isabel" Party, 2003! ... This beer rocks!... Very murky, mahogany ale. Large, dark bits of vitamin-laden yeast floating around and then settling at the bottom of the glass.
The aroma is of dark fruits, bread dough, light alcohol and brown sugar. A touch floral as well.
Very tasty and well-balanced! Coffee, toffee and chocolate notes. Candied dates and dark raisins.
Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, astringent finish. World Class Brew!

Oct 10, 2008 Bottled. A cloudy dark red/brown beer with a big, quick disappearing beige head. The aroma has a good maltiness and notes of caramel, fruits, spices and a light herbal touch fro the hops. The flavour is overall well balanced, not overly sweet and with a moderate acidity. Again some caramel and the spices are well present. Medium body, lively carbonation, long fiinish with almost medium bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden. Surely a good beer.

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle from Johns Market Place in PDX--Poured a deep robust chestnut brown body with a minimal off-white head. Nutty, sweet, metallic, slightly cardboardy. I think this beer is a little off, but is still tasty and robust. Not bad.
