Jul 22, 2008 bottle poured into an English pint has a cola brown color and a thin white head that fell quickly. aroma has roasted caramel malt, dark fruit, faint chocolate, and a little cherry cordial. mouth feel is medium light with flat carbonation. flavor has a muddle of caramel and chocolate malt, faint fruit, a little off yeast, and a touch of bitters. finish is flat with a washed out flavor. there is a little mis match of flavors here that is a little off.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured a cloudy brown color with an off white head. Aroma is of roasted malts, some fruits? and nuts. Flavor is very malty with some spices hidden within.

Deep ruby brown pour with little head development. Oak, soft choc, and malts. Thin in the finish. I also got this off season at a discount. Not a 20$ case discount like below though.

Jul 7, 2008 Very average beer . . . Not a particularly appealing appearance or smell. Tastes a little like chocolate. Would probably be a good winter beer, unfortunately I had it in July.

Jun 9, 2008 pours deep mahogany with an off-white finger-thick foam. aroma of chocolate and cherry. tastes heavily of semi-sweet chocolate and burnt orange peel. finish isn’t my favorite, too thin with a weird tonic-like aftertaste. Bought a case out-of-season for 20 bux. Worth it, but I wouldn’t pay full price.
