On tap at the Sasquatch brew fest in Eugene,OR. Pours a dark brown/reddish color with an off-white head. Very sweet aroma with hints of chocolate and slightly fruity. Taste was very roasty with very sweet brown sugarish taste and a hint of cherry. Very rich brew but still very smooth with only the slightest alcohol taste on the palate.

called "the governator" Deep mohogany body, gorgeous lace. thin, off whit head, little carbonation. Dark, toasty, lightly roasty malt nose with notes of ripe fruits. musty and malty, a hint of alcohol. The bartender claimed this beer to be 10.9 % ABV. Grainy, lightly roasted front, dominateby malts, of course. some leathery hints emerge, also suggestions of chocolate as it warmed. the sweet savory maltiness grows. I can't believe that this is almost 11 percent! GREAT balance

Sampled 7/28/02 at the Oregon Brewers Festival. Poured dark brown, with a huge head that diminished slowly, and left nice lacing. Very pleasant malty aroma. Smooth palate, with sweet malt and banana/fruity notes. Very good.
