Oct 14, 2007 Nice brown/black with good coffee colored head. The aroma leaves something to be desired with a quiet (whimpy) hopped effort with overly sugared roasted malts. The taste is a bit better, relying on sugar-mapled malts to make up for a lack of solid composition not a great balance. Desipte these setbacks, not a bad brew. Seems like a brown ale on wayyy too much steroids.

Oct 2, 2007 Exceptionally fruity nose. All kinds of things going on here, apples, pears, berries, toffee, and a hint of alcohol. Pours a dark cherry with garnet highlights. Smallish frothy beige head is moslty diminishing with almost no lace. Very sweet through and through. Light warm alcohol bleed, and almost no acidity. The finish is roasted hazelnut coffee. As full as a stout, this brew is syrupy and lively. The finish feels slightly cloying.

Sep 14, 2007 A spicy nutty aroma. Very dark color, more black than brown. Has some alcohol, but it comes off toasty and tasty, not too strong. A good spiciness, just a little metal in the finish. Pretty nice and not too nutty at all.

Sep 6, 2007 Sugar bomb of a beer. Wow. Dessert beer for sure. For me the sweetness was way over the top, but it did have nice coffee and chocolate flavors.

Aug 16, 2007 It is what it says on the label: very dark brown with a little fizz and a distinctly nutty scent. Also, roasted flavours, lots of alcohol, licorice, maybe some wood (maple) and grassy hops. The finish is quite bitter. Far too thin and gassy in the body. Has a lot going for it, but the taste just doesn’t gel with the scent.

Aug 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark, dark, brown with a decent sized tan colred head. Aroma is chocolate, cashew, caramel, maple. Flavor is rich chocolate, maple, toffee, caramel, some nuttiness. Palate is medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, sweet sticky finish. This one surprised me, surpassed all expectations. Nice stuff here.
