Sample at Brewnosers’ meeting April 2008. Dark brown amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. Rich caramel, molasses, and toffee aroma. Molasses, fruity, leafy, citrus, and grapefruit flavours. Full bodied, rich, smooth, and creamy mouthfeel.

Pours dark brown and thick. Smell of roasted malts. Taste of carmamel and chocolate. Strong brew here. Overall a good bock. Much like the Sled Dog.

750 ml bottle. Pours a lovely clear garnet with a moderate tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left minimal lace. There is a pleasant aroma of sweet malt and molasses, however, there is also a bit of funk in the nose which I did not expect. The flavor is a bit funkier than the aroma along with sweet malt and molasses and even some sour cherry. This bottle appears to have brett, or a similar bug, that must have sneaked in somewhere along the line, which has definitely enhanced this beer. Very mild bitterness at the finish. I guess I would call this a happy accident as I enjoyed this beer very much!

Capped and foiled magnum, thanks CaptainCougar. Pours clear mahogany with ruby lights and a lacy off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and chocolate. Full, sweet, rounded taste of caramel, nuts and chocolate.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a tan head. Lots of unattenuated sugars ever present throughout. Maple syrup, molasses and a sugar sweet body with a strong etoh warming. Chewy caramel, i think i have a cavity.

Bottle thanks to Hophead22 by way of phhd.. Rating #100 for this beer.. Pours reddish copper with no head... The only way I can describe this beers smell is twizzlers. I know this because I hate twizzlers.. Taste like sweet ripe fruits, a little toffee and molasses.. Very low carbonation

Bottle shared by Hophead22. Pours dark reddish brown with an off white film. Aroma is pretty salty, earthy, metallic, slightly sweet with some fresh vegetables. Flavor is very ripe and sweet with some chocolate and molasses, a hint of alcohol. Palate is full bodied and carbonation is low.

750ml bottle from phhd, thanks Ethan. Shared with DuffManSW and mspindler. Dark amber/red color, very little head. Sweet aroma, dark, ripe fruit is prominent. Kind of thin, meatallic, bready. Low carbonation as well, but not bad overall.
