A great ale! Very nice taste. The aroma I didn’t care for too much and I don’t think it did much compared to the taste. Goes down smooth and is very enjoyable.

Jun 20, 2006 Updated: Feb 19, 2007Deep blackish brown with hints of red. Dirty dimpled head. Aroma is headily alcoholic, with some barrelly wood. Smells like red wine. Looks like coke or Kostritzer. Flavour is smooth and roasty with sweetish suggestions of chocolate, and definite red wine notes in a sourish aftertaste. A seductively creamy and complex beer.

Jun 2, 2006 Poured a pretty dark mahogany color with a finger head. Lacing was above average and the aroma was somewhat vinous. A slight buttery smell was detectable, which was a turn off. The flavor was rich, starting somewhat sweet and wine-like, but then moving to a more bitter and dry finish. I was surprised to see the ABV at only 5.6, since the alcohol was detectable. Fairly smooth beer, which woulda ranked higher if not for the butter-like aroma (which was present also in the taste).

Jun 2, 2006 Black, oaty and smooth but the taste hangs around a little too long, plus there isn’t enough flavor as I expect in a nice dark beer.

May 26, 2006 Pours reddish brown with a diminishing but lacy beige head. Aromas of banana and malt. Light to medium body, with light carbonation. The taste is malty, earthy, toffee, vanilla and some other flavors I really can’t identify. Quick and slightly bitter molasses-covered banana finish. An interesting change of pace.

May 12, 2006 Vegetabely, munich aroma, with a touch of earthy hops. Nice ruby pour. Taste is slightly veggie, though has a nice sugary sweet taste that is complemented by gentle hopping. Thin and watery, though still a bit quaffable.
