Apr 18, 2007 1 Liter bottle via trade with CaptainCougar and shared at our Mesa Gathering - Pours a dark brown color with a half finger thick light tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, and wood. Flavor was the same. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. My wife really liked this one. An excellent beer. Thanks Tom.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle courtesy of IMtheOptimator: Poured a hazy slightly dirty yellow color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of estery yeast and spices is quite dominant as well as some tropical fruit- like sweetness. Taste is spicier then I would have expected which might be from the spice mix use in this beer or from the yeast strain use in this beer. Body is quite full and alcohol is not discernable. I thought this was reasonably well done for the style and would mind having another taste of it.

Apr 14, 2007 Thanks to Goldtwins for the bottle! ’05 vintage I believe. Creamy chocolate and coffee aromas are very alluring. Deep brown with a medium tan head. Medium to full palate is very creamy. Creamy coffee with a good roasted malt profile. Light hops throughout offer a nice, light contrast to the fullness of the brew. Very well done.

Apr 13, 2007 Poured a deep, oily black with a foamy tan head. Aroma is sweet, malty and bready with a hint of flowers. Flavor starts out sweet, nutty with a heavy roasted malt flavor. Finish really transforms this beer. Coffee touches, caramel and toffee with a chocolate flavor and texture. Great beer, great brewer. Very impressive.

Apr 6, 2007 Cbkshubert brought this one to the Mesa Gathering also shared with Bucknaked. Had a sweet licorice porter aroma. Dark brwon body almost black with tan head. Had a good roasted nut flavor along witha mild sweetness. Smooth beer and left a raosted toast aftertaste on the palate. Thanks Craig.
