Slightly burnt raisin bread with chocolate sauce. Reddish copper brown color with a hint of red, smallish head that dissipated quickly. Slight clovey sweetness, noticeable hop bitterness to balance. Fizzy carbonation, seemed a little thin, finish was decent, almost a hint of bananas? OK, not bad, but not earth shattering.

Aug 20, 2008 A hoppy bitter beer that has a dark clear brown color. Average at best for my liking.

Aug 18, 2008 Pours dark clear brown with thin offwhite head. Aroma minimal, slightly sweet and a tad bit of nuttiness. Flavor biter nut , sweet caramel malts, very thin and watery. Slight bitter finish. Not too good.

Aug 17, 2008 A 0.5L bottle at Old Tom Kouvola. Nice brown colour. Palebrown thin head. Maltiness in the nose. Fresh malty bitterish taste. Also some syrup in the nose. In the end hoppy bitterness.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle, poured into a Hennepin glass. Almost black body with a durable off white head. I was looking for a stout to enjoy with a pot of steamed clams and thought this would do the trick and it did. The burnt caramel and anise flavors blended well with the saltiness of the shellfish. The dried figs and plums go well with the melted butter. I’m not a fan of most English Ales and if it wasn’t for the great food I paired this with, it would have been down the drain already. The earthiness of the hops and the blandness of the stale malts don’t bode well with me.

Aug 15, 2008 A very tasty ale. A surprisingly thick beer, definitely full. Beautiful color as well.
