Aubrey (2772), Denver, Colorado, USA Apr 16, 2007 Deep reddish brown. Texture felt a little thin and a bit too carbonated, but it seemed to thicken up slightly as it warmed (became chewier, almost). First impression was really nice, as it seemed to be full of flavor. Toast, cola, chocolate milk and sour/dark fruit. Rather drinkable. jake65 (1657), Williston, North Dakota, USA Apr 13, 2007 Bottle: Dark mahoghany/ruby colored pour with a large beige head. Nose is rich with malt and dark fruits, rather sweet. Thick body reveals tastes of dark fruits, raisons, prunes, wine, and a rich maltiness. Sweet, yet swirling in flavor. Balanced at the same time. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Feb 23, 2008Pours dark black/brown with a frothy tan head. Sweet malty aroma with a light citric note. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Palate is medium/light, a bit of sharp carbonation, and lightly sweet. Fairly balanced, but very light flavor. waolsen (1216), Littleton, Colorado, USA Apr 10, 2007 bottle. wow what a poor beer. Thin body. roasted malts and nutty. a bit funky. fairly one dimensional and dissappointing all around. shadey (1496), Rochester, New York, USA Apr 10, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark deep red with a quickly diminishing head that reduces to a thin ring of tan cream. Aroma is almost musty, with caramel sweetness accompanied by some smoke and moss. The flavor is very mild up front, with only the caramel malts, but the finish is quite smokey, to the point this beer could almost be considered a smoked. I detect some fruit as well. Dark fruits, like prunes. The carbonation is sharp, maybe a touch too sharp. Overall a quality brew that is easy to drink. Moz (613), Gothenburg, Sweden Apr 9, 2007 Bottle. Brown colour with a tan head. Odd malty aroma with nuts & caramel. A bit burned malty flavour. Spicy with some sweetness. MaltOne (61), USA Apr 7, 2007 This is a well made beer. It’s pretty to look at - nice tan head, deepp reddish brown color, nice aroma. As fo flavor, it’s somewhat overwhelmed with hoppiness compared to what I was expecting. Well made, but not to my taste. bitbucket (2022), Kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep garnet brown with a lacy orange head. Aroma of yeast, bread, fruit and caramel with a touch of herbal hops. Medium body with full carbonation. Taste of brown sugar, citrus, nuts, roasty malt and smidgeon of prune. Crisp finish with a touch of brown sugar and a twist of grapefruit.
