Nov 5, 2005 Definitely peculiar, but not necessarily a good peculiar, like that time you said something your girlfriend normally gets pissy about, but yet it seems to make no rift in the conversation. But instead, the peculiar is more a Is that a guy or a girl? kind of peculiar. I didn’t think this was a bad beer (just as I don’t have a bad feeling about androgyny), I just feel the ratings are excessively pleasant. Try drinking it a little warm, it helps the taste.

Oct 25, 2005 Opaque dark brown, almost black, with a medium tan head and some scattered lacing. Lots of fruity esters in the aroma, but I favour sweet berries more than banana. I think I can also detect some hops there if I sniff enough in. More aromas evident on tasting, include some caramel and a hint of coffee. The flavour is fairly light, although well balanced. A bit thin, it makes up for it with even carbonation and a pleasant and fulfilling finish.

Oct 20, 2005 (Tasters at BJCP Class) Strong Malty flavor good fruity esters. With hint of caramel and molasses. This has a strong Alcohol percentage even though it should be low. No Hops presence. Medium body for this beer. Almost sherry like flavor in the aftertaste. Good strong barley wine with a Dark reddish brown color. This was a good beer to style.

Oct 19, 2005 iT’S VERY CARBINATED. iT’S GOT A LOT OF ZING TO IT AS WELL. i THINK THE AFTER TASTE IS THE BEST PART OF THE BEER. IT LASTS FOR LITERALLY MINUTES. BEST HAD A BIT WARM. VERY SMOOTH AS WELL.

Oct 19, 2005 12 oz bottle. Poured a nice dark color with a decent head. Aromas were very nice. Chocolate, caramel, other malts. The flavor lost out a bit, with some unexpected bitterness that didn’t seem to fit in. Didn’t get any fruitiness or bananas. Still a decent drink.

Oct 14, 2005 Pours dark brown with a of white head that quickly diminishes. there is little lacing. the aroma consists of chocolate and some coffee. there is also a hint of something sweeter, maybe caramel. Flavor is very creamy with little bitterness and some sweetness. It is a little bland for my liking. It also has a litte bit of an alcohol aftertaste. not bad but not great.

Oct 14, 2005 peculier aroma, with hints of coffee, scotch, and molasses. The coffee aroma carries over to the taste, which comes on strong and has a dry aftertaste. Surprisingly watery texture considering how thick it looks.

Oct 14, 2005 Thick color, but thin taste, some bitterness but little to back it up, some medium malty flavor, and it feels heavy in my belly, but not much on the mouth, smoky perhaps
