Mar 11, 2008 33cl. bottle: Pours deep dark walnut brown with ruby highlights and a huge, dense, stiff and longlasting yellowed tan head. Aromas of carmellized dark fruits and plain sugar. Alcohol, and malt sit in the back with some chocolate and yeast. Every once in a while I pick up some mellow toasted bananas. There is some green hop note floating around someplace. Flavors go online with the aromas. Sweet dark fruits mixed with an upfront alcohol. You pick up on yeast and malt in the middle with some golden raisins. Towards the end you get a dose of chocolate with a touch of roasted nuts. This blends into hop bitterness, with an herbal edge, and some roast bitterness. Starts out a little sweet but ends dry enough.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep murky brown with thin orangish-beige head. Nose has caramel, toasted grain and dark fruit aroma. Flavor is woody, with some burnt notes, roasted grain, very mild tartness and very minor stale/musty notes in background. Light lingering herbal bitterness in finish. Soft, nearly flat palate, with some touches of hop resin. At first I thought is was strange, but it has a consistency and strong hop/malt flavors that grew on me.

Mar 4, 2008 (bottle) Pours amber with a light tan head. Aroma smells of port wine and yeast, really not much else. I really didn’t care for the taste, as there was light grape (similar to concentrated grape juice) toffee, and an odd finish that was predominately yeast. Medium mouthfeel.

Feb 29, 2008 Pour is a hazy brown with a very large tan head. Aroma is nice with some strong caramel with a dark fruit and candi sugar combo. Flavor is also in the decent category. Some molasses show up again along with the candi sugar. One distraction is the alcohol is there in a big way. Still an above average beer.

Feb 28, 2008 It’s a dark red brown beer with a creamy large thick beige head. It slowly dissapears. It has a malty, fruit and a little spicy aroma. A malty tast, with some notes of fruit, like blackberries. It’s a little sweet. A nice beer to drink with friends.

Feb 26, 2008 Bottle at the second Doubletree tasting, provided by Zinister. Thanks! Pours a deep, tree sap amber with nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is doo doo mixed with Houston Municipal Sewer Water, vegetable (particularly celery), and earth. Flavor is raisin, pear, and sugar that provides a lingering sweetness. Average mouthfeel. Much better as it warms.
