cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 27, 2008 Smells a little hoppy yet malty with some candy. Friendly goat chewing on a hop branch. Good clean malty impact for the palate. Aromatic and volatile. Alky finish is a hanger onner. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Feb 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008Apparently this was recently distributed to NC for the first time. Dark fruits, roast, and some hops.. about what I expected. hopson (591), Williamsville, New York, USA Feb 25, 2008 looking forward to this one, but was disappointed. Toastyness was not evident at all in the nose or in the flavor. Dark fruits dominate. And then something sour showed up in the finish. Not desirable. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 24, 2008 Blah. Aroma was weak. Could pick up some dark fruit in the distance. Pour was a nice deep dark amber with a thin tan ring for a head. The taste was so so. Strong vinous flavor of dark fruit and sticky sweet roasted malt. Heavy carbonation with a semi bitter aftertaste. Just average. jujubeast6000 (772), Houston, Texas, USA Feb 23, 2008 (bottle): Pours a dark dark brown body, Big foamy off-tan head, good lacing, somewhat lasting. Very fresh aroma, outdoorsy, somewhat dusty. Malty, somewhat dusty, somewhat nutty taste. Good body, somewhat light. Spring-y. More creamy, fruity as it warms up. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Feb 21, 2008 Clear garnet color with a nice tan head. Aroma is first a whiff of hops then a more typical toffee malty smell. medium body and smooth. Decent taste is of mildly sweet malts and molasses flavored bread. Very easy drinking. 3237 fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA Feb 18, 2008 This is a great looking drink - Smooth and sweet with a dry, moderate bitter finish. Very thin and somewhat tart. Bitter chocolate on the finish. Funny that Rob and I picked this up at 99Bottles and rated it so closely.
