Jul 1, 2008 A huge and massive THANK YOU for lb4lb and pintsize for just happening to have one and giving it to me, thank you. 16 oz. can poured into my happy stein- poured semi transparent when held to light source, very dark brown with red tint in color, off brown ring around the glass with some lacing for a head. Aroma of nuts (walnuts?), finely roasted malt that was not burned to a crisp, brown sugar, and pure beergoodness that makes you want to swim in it. HIts the mouth with a low-wide body, coffee like taste hits the tongue at first, sweetness the like of brown sugar comes wandering in the middle and lingers, finish is very smooth, solid, and asks nicely to have another sip with a twinkle her eyes. I am a sucker for a great brown ale, and this one did not clear the fence, it cleared the stadium!!! HOME RUN!!!

Jun 28, 2008 Pours like a porter. The nose is sweet with coffee, chocolate, and light toffee notes. Comes across the palate with caramel and light chocolate. Very smooth finish a slight porter after taste.

Jun 23, 2008 Can. Sweet nose with coffee, chocolate, and toffee. Reddish brown with dark brown head. Quite thin with lots of caramel sweetness and a touch of chocolate. Opens thin but finishes very smooth and thickens out a touch towards the end. Very nice for the style.

Jun 22, 2008 Courtesy of Gunhaver. Red amber with a nutty head.
Another great suprise in a can. Aroma is caramel malt, roasty and coffee flavor.
It packs an amazing punch filled with flavor and taste.

Jun 18, 2008 pretty darn good, dark and full bodied beer. moderate price, ive had it in can and tap form. better on tap, but good in the tall can too. good with food, good alone, all around good beer. not something id recommend for activity in hot weather, its too thick for that.

Jun 18, 2008 Scored this in a trade with Scubarex. Many thanks! Pours a nearly opaque dark, nut brown from the can with a thin head that faded fast. Aroma is malty with biscuits and dough enticing you to come in. Flavor is very sweet and drinkable. Slightly roasted nuts (think dark peanuts) with crackers, biscuits, sweet blonde brownies, caramel and toffee all working well together. Dry finish allows the beer to go down easy. Great session beer that I can’t imagine anyone ever getting sick of.

Jun 17, 2008 a great double ipa. this is a must try. many might be unwilling to try since it’s out of a can, but it’s a truly great beer.

Jun 13, 2008 16 oz can. Pours a deep deep dark brown/black with a tan/mocha head that has great retention and lacing. Nose is of fresh hops with a little hint at some chocolate. Flavor is chocolate mixed with some coffee and some vanilla notes. Wonderful flavor. Finishes a little dry, but not enough to be a huge factor. This beer is a must if you can get it (especially on tap!)
