Bottle. Poured a dark red with a three finger brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and fruit. Flavor is cherries, with a chocolate and coffee finishing. Somewhat light body with mild carbonation.

Bottle thanks to mmm///beer. Pours a beautiful dark red color with a large brown head. There is lots of brown in the body, mixed with the redness it almost seems like purple. The aroma is great; sweet berries, chocolates, toasted malts, and some sweeter candy notes. The flavor is very complex and nice; tons of fruit upfront, sour cherries, strawberry and others. A rich chocolate and brown sugar follow, and some light coffee in the finish. Light body and a somewhat easygoing beer. Very nice.

This reddish-brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a malty aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with a bit of smokiness and carbonation. This is a well-crafted session beer for those who enjoy a dark one.

Pours very dark ruby brown with a thick and creamy finger of tan head that lingered. Aroma is mostly chocolate and lightly roasted malts. Body is smooth and lets through a very sweet beer that again is chocolatey with some prune undertones and a slight hop and roasted malt bitterness for balance.

12 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured very dark brown with red tints when held to a light source, high carbonation, tan head 3 mm thick was defiant and refused to bubble away. Aroma of caramel, malt, and prunes. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is tasty and stands alone well, a touch of sweetness in the middle, finish has crisp finish with hops underneath. Sorry Shiner, this is my sessioner for awhile...
