WRLCFBR- Dry roasted malt aroma. Nice, deep dark ruby red in color. Off white to light tan head. Quite tasty. Solid brew. Hints at being a run-of-the-mill roasted malt brew, is not. Has some complexity. A solid brew from a relatively unknown brewer.

Fairly dark red/brown color with what looked to be a pretty good head but it didn't last long. Mild roasty malt aroma with a nip of spiciness. Light to medium bodied, malty with some chocolate and an unexpected breadlike note to it. The finish was clean and lightly bitter.

Mmmm. Better than Creamy Dark! Yes, entree into the quite good range with this one. I like the snappiness (some corniness mutes that a bit) but no real sweetness and even a tingly hop bite (of the pencil shavings variety). Thinner than desired, but a nice and very easy-drinking surprise.

Chicago trip. Tuesday 12:15. Bottle at Old Chicago by O’Hare. Dark copper. Doppelbock prune aroma. Flavour of raisins, chocolate and prune.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of light brown colored fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent carbonated ruby red brown colored body. The aroma was sweetly malty. The mouth feel was mild and smooth initially with a tingly finish. The flavor was mild astringent and contained sweet malts with a mild hop background.

aroma is like a scottish, with slight raspberry. flavor upsets me though, not much there. it's like a guy poured a fruit beer in a scottish to make something strangely off and unworthy. not stinging, though... light berry aftertaste, what's with the seasoning? and the malt is just not how it should be considering everything else. aftertaste dies quickly, nothing actually offensive. oh well, not a drain, but i'll definitely pass next time. i don't like it, but i do think it's kinda ugh good. hmm.

Sampled at Brew Ha Ha 2005: Pours black in color with a good head that left quickly. Aroma was slightly burnt and I wasn’t looking forward to that. Turned out the after-taste was somewhat burnt also.

Had this on draught in Stevens Point. Average in color (darkish brown), nose (not a whole lot going on, kinda lagery) and flavor.
