LiebeBier (745), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Apr 20, 2003 Nice large tan head. Tastes like a kriek stout. It looked like such a promising beer but turned out to taste awful for a stout.
howie (531), DeForest, Wisconsin, USA Apr 25, 2005 Nothing offensive about the appearance, aroma, or palate. There’s a sour, brackish, astringent nastiness that made this one my first drain pour in a long while. Bigsky_66 (148), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Mar 9, 2005 Sweet, coffee smell. Malty and coffee hints but a little to sour. Good on the palate but ends quite fast. The sourness maskes the rest of flavors. tomxcs (315), Golden, Colorado, USA Dec 3, 2004 Not a good stout but probably their most flavorful beer. Watery body. Coffee and bitter chocolate finish. BBB63 (3810), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 31, 2004 Bottle: Opaque with fading fizzy tan head and little lace. The aroma has notes of coffee, toasted malts, oats, lactic sourness, earthy yeast ester and prune. The taste had some chocoalte and vanilla tones, lots of coffee on the finish but little else. The feel is way too watery for style. I’ll pass next time. DavidP (1713), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Feb 28, 2004 Extremely dark brown color resulting in a black body. Quite a bit of carbonation but not much head, just a wipsy coating. Simple but enjoyable chocolate-grainy aroma. Tastes like weak malty coffee with a bit of lemon squeezed in it. Dry, fruity finish. I was encouraged by this beer's nice aroma but the taste doesn't match.
