VaBF 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.

does not count  May 13, 2008 My husbands favorite. Dark and rich. Again I’m learning just because it’s a dark beer doesn’t mean bitter. Very smooth. Filling the growler is always a plus.

Dec 4, 2007 Updated: Dec 22, 2007Murky brown beer with a weak head. Aroma is completely overtaken by strong diacetyl character, which comes through in the flavor as well. Avoid this beer! Another example of an obviously infected beer from this poor brewpub.

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.

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.
