Nov 13, 2009 750mL bottle. Poured deep brown with a dense, well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter chocolates, brown sugar, and toasted nutty notes paired with tart orange peel, floral notes, and wheat.. there was an overriding spicy yeast presence that played well here. The flavor opened with tart floral notes, orange peel, and bone-dry yeast that imparted earth and bananas.. the core was mostly tart wheat, topped by the same sweet chocolates and nutty notes as the nose.. finished spicy and dry with more chocolate. Light-medium bodied and very well carbonated on the palate.. decent feel, but it didn’t quite flow as well as I would have liked.. overall engaging and different, but not quite great.

Oct 11, 2008 750ml from WeeHeavySD - thanks, Jon! Serious gusher, almost like some of those legendary bottles from Heavyweight. Vibrant dark pour, with a dingy tan head that rises and rises. Carbonation ultimately gets under control, thankfully. The nose is tart, like black currants and boisenberries, with some pleasant yeasts and spices in there for measure. Decent body, though the mouthfeel’s just a bit too active for the flavors to come through effectively. Slight smoke and roasts in the finish make this a quirky one. Maybe not the Bruery’s best, but I still take my hat off to them.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle; poured a dark cola brown with lots of floaties. Aroa of wheat, chalk and cocoa. Flavor was that of a brown ale with some wheat, fruit, and chalk. Not as good as I was hopping for, but not bad.

Dec 23, 2009 shared with DrBayern, Celticbrew, Uncle Steve and Brian the Beer Pimp. Nice floral aroma. Pours black with a thin lacy head on edge. The taste was a toasty choco malt with some hints of the corrieander and citrus. Found it somewhat thin tasting for my liking. But overall I was pleased.
