JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA May 8, 2007 Clear dark brownish black. Thin brown head. Nice roasty sweet fruit aroma. Thin dry roasty body.... almost a smokey salami thing too. Grainy coffee. Vanilla burnt wood. Nice and balanced. Complex, but subtle in that respect (i.e. the roastiness is not subtle).
cgarvieuk (2350), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 23, 2008 Bottle at home ... very light watery nose with a little malt ... Very odd malt flavour ... light chocolate ... light carbonation Rogueone (365), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Aug 12, 2008 Bottle: Dark pour with a bubbly tan head. Some smoked character to this one aroma-wise, alcohol is very present in the nose. Flavor is much more smoked than I can handle, soy sauce - salty quality to it overtop weak chocolate malt. Drinkable for those that enjoy this flavor- - not my thing. badbeer (408), Iowa, USA Jul 5, 2008 Black with a tan head and spotty lacing. Smell was roasty, it also had caramel, maple syrup, and burnt wood. Taste also had maple syrup, caramel, and chocolate, but the taste had a lot more roastiness than the aroma. Medium carbonation with light body. Pretty drinkable beer, thanks to iowaherkeye for sharing. akevitt (93), Valhalla, Minnesota, USA Jun 6, 2008 Thanks to Skyview for sharing. The bear was near opaque black/brown motor oil, moderate amount of light brown head, oily legs. In the aroma there was burnt malt (faint chocolate and smoke). In the flavor there was dry burnt/charred malt (faint chocolate and smoke). Bitter burnt malt finish. As it warmed I got more alcohol and sugar. The beer had a moderately heavy mouthfeel.
pepsican (708), the beer wastelands of, Iowa, USA May 12, 2008 A big thanks to iowaherkeye for this rare gem. Thanks as always joey! Black pour with a dusty brown head. Aroma and flavor were very similar. I got chocolate, veggies, and fish. I’d say soy sauce, but it seemed more like fish sauce. Some coffee and a bit of hops round off the flavor. Almost salty. Had a nice slick finish. Interesting but I dont know...
