Aug 30, 2005 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a deep garnet red with average white head that settles to a film rather quickly. Aroma is quite good, heavy on malt, with plum, purne, a little bubblegum, and some resiny hop. Flavor is very nice, very malty with a vinous finish on the first sip. This has a really long lasting finish due to its mouth coating palate. Mouthfeel is perfect, just the right amount of carbonation sot that it doesn’t interfere with tasting the flavor. Hop bitterness comes out more as the beer warms and really balances the malt well. This stuff’s pretty awesome, very recommended.

Oct 16, 2006 Dark amber pour, thick head and strong lacing. The aroma is sweet and reminicent of honey with a strong malt backbone. The flavor is slight bitterness upfront followed by a sweet warm (yet dry) flavor hinting at earth. A great beer and one I will definitely try again and again.

Nov 1, 2008 33 cl. Bottled on 02,11. Code 1202. Lightly hazy chestnut with a lasting eighth-inch cream. Frosting all over the glass. Aroma of cocoa, plum, apple and earth-spiced molasses. Front flavors of raisin and apple coated in caramel, chocolate and some earthy spice. Slowly turns more roasty with cocoa, toasted nut and woody flavors that provide a nice bittersweet finish. Medium body is smooth, lightly tingly and finishes dry.

Jun 29, 2006 Finally a gold nugget plucked from my d.b.a. jaunt in NYC. Yummy, yeasty, bitter-style aroma. Great embossed latch bottle and woody brown beer. Buttery, woody, a bit cereal. Very enjoyable. Medium long woody finish. Adequately bittered with lots of character.

May 21, 2004 I picked this bottle up @ Rozi’s in Lakewood, OH for $3.99. Aroma had a floral bouquet and the entire bottle poured nicely into my Bitburger glass. Dark brown color and a hoppy flavor with hints of smoke and caramel. Alcohol was well hidden, I could taste yeast undertones. This beer lived up to it’s cost and its not just the bottle you are paying for. I am going to re-use the bottle for home brewing unless somebody has a way to make it into a bong. Thanks to bkelly68 for pointing it out to me.

Dec 12, 2005 Had one of these at the Winking Lizard. Should have kept the bottle. Light floral and
fruit notes dominate the subtle but very pleasant nose. Caramel tones leak out a bit as
brew warms. The brew pours a dark color characteristic of mahogany or walnut. The tall
off white frothy head is mostly lasting with good lace character. The brew starts nice and
malty with moderate acidity and exceptional balance with a nice long full finish. The
medium creamy and soft body has an astringent feel to the finish. Exceptional offering.

href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?U target=blank> beerhugger, thanks Steve. Copper in colour, off-white head (good retention), some lace. The aroma is malty (cookies, caramel), some citrus hops and some smoke. The flavour was malty (cookies, bready, caramel), slightly sweet, cirtus hops, nutty. Bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a lingering hop bite, dry. Quite nice.

Aug 15, 2004 Cloudy orange-brown/dark copper coloured…wild aroma of fresh herbs, honey, whole toasted grains and sweet sticky malt. Slightly spicy flavour – a bit of pepper and bitter hop flowers. Wonderful tight carbonation, flavourful body with figs, buttered toast, almonds and wheat. Nice long finish…
