HonkeyBra (1266), Lemont, Illinois, USA May 1, 2009 Big, dark brown pour with tan filmy head. Caramelly aroma with notes of tobacco, toffee and roasted malts. Flavor is mostly roasted malt, toffee, caramel, some coffee notes, some fruit, a little weird finish. A hearty, nice mouthfeel. Good, but not great.

Pours cloudy dark red-brown with a moderate tan head. Sweet woody fruity burnt caramel aromas. Taste is malty burnt molasses with fruity toffee undertones and a warming mildly spicy and alcoholic finish. Thick creamy mouthfeel. Very filling. One for a cold winter’s night.
