May 25, 2008 ~Pours a very dark red with diminishing head.
~Scent of sweet chocolate raisin and caramel
~Taste is sweet, but not overbearing. A bit of chocolate and some fruits.
~Medium bodied. Nice finish.
~ I don’t care too much for the aroma. Smells too sweet. Luckily, for me, the flavor is real mild. I like this brew. Would be great on a winter’s night.

Feb 18, 2008 Liter bottle 2008. Pours deep ruby brown with thin, bubbly beige head. Aroma is rich, toasted caramel, rye bread graininess and molasses. Flavor is roasted grain, very minor yeast-basement flavors, coffee like bitterness throughout, dark bread, some burnt flavors. Very full palate. Bitterness and very minor alcohol linger in the finish.

Jan 3, 2008 Nice, malty brew. Very well done. Thought it might have been a tad richer, sweeter and with a bit more body, but getting nit picky. LOVE the labe and REALLY love that JenT was so absolutely kind to send it. Shared with the likely suspect at the Dewberry’s. Jen packed it like a seasoned pro - super cool box made for shipping bottles. THANK YOU!

Dec 29, 2007 1 liter bottle from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Poured like a black cup of coffee. Head was thin , creamy and tan.....disappeared fairly quickly. Not really a big aroma, come chocolate and toffee on the nose. Great flavors of milk chocolate, roasted toffee and caramel. Very creamy finish.

Dec 23, 2007 12-21-07 bottle shared at a tasting.
Thick dark brown in color. Malty aroma that turns into a strong alcohol aroma as it warms. Heavy flavor but yet it is thin bodied for my liking. Good flavor just a bit weak for me.
