Oct 29, 2006 Draft at the brewpub, 10/28/06: Only 1 of the 3 beers I tried that I actually liked. Not sure what the brewer would classify it as, so I entered as "ale" ... sorry! Almost has the character of a Scotch Ale. Dark black with a tan standing head. Syrupy and thick with a definite molasses, strong malt tone. Strong and good ... the one fine point of our visit.

May 25, 2007 Virginia Beer Fest 2007. Dark brown body with a creamy tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma with some fruity hints. Rum soaked fruit and chocolate flavor with some caramel and molassas in the background.

Oct 4, 2006 1L growler from the brewpub, of course. Deep brown with a thick, creamy beige head. Excellent thick lace. Nutty aromas, some chocolate. Nice, smooth chocolate nut flavors (walnut?) with an even sweet maltiness. Bitter chocolate finish. Nice round body. Very nice - well done!

Nov 2, 2007 Growler from Alt Platz. Murky brown settles to faint swirls and a tan ring of tiny bubbles. Aroma is chocolate dipped banana covered in hot fudge. Velvety coffee cocoa with a bright plummy tang. Black grapes, hints of licorice. Light drying with espresso. Excellent.

Jun 9, 2007 Updated: Aug 31, 2007VaBF 2007. Initially rated as their SDE dunkel, but I suspected I was wrong and have now confirmed that.
Draft: served by a very beautiful beer wench. Aroma was smoked and charred lamb. Pours dark brown with a thin head, no lacing. Complex flavor, smoked beef and hearty Soy sauce at first. Consistent smoke flavor throughout. Finishes with apple. Fantastic brew! Probably the best I’ve ever had.
