COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 14 wonderful years, we have been creating libations for ourselves in the hope that some others out there would share our eccentric palates and support us. Many thanks to all of you who do! Here is yet another quirky brew: a very dark and different, dry-hopped ale. Style? hard to say, you decide. Just expect massive molasses maltiness, limitless fruits on the nose and an imposing floral & zesty dry-hop finish. Peace to all and follow your dreams!

Odeed (1749) - Bakersfield, California, USA - OCT 14, 2007
(bottle from hi-time wines)crimson red body with a thick light brown head that leaves some heavy webbing as it sits.very beautiful looking beer i must say.the aroma is a nice blend of citrus hops,caramel malts,cinnamon,earth,and allspice.the flavor boasts much of the same along with some mint,pepper,and raisins.very different and very well done.

MadIndian (1737) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 7, 2007
Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus, courtesy of an ohio dad trade. Pours a Dark Amber with a fruit/molasses aroma and tin. Alcohol and fruit flavor. It was good but I was slightly dissapointed.

pineypower (1735) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - JUL 3, 2007
Pours out a deep brown color with a moderate syrupy head, nice lacing. Mostly earthy aroma with slight hops. Taste is very well balanced with a velvety mouthfeel. Earthy with notes of roasted malt, molasses, dried fruit and slight coffee/chocolate, slight hop bitterness on the finish. Very solid brew

Cybercat (1735) - Georgia, USA - JUL 17, 2008
Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with a touch of apple and a smoky hint. It pours a rich, opaque sable with a nice thick beige head that disappears slowly. Flavor has a rather strong alcohol bite like a barleywine, which tends to mask the rest of the taste, but I did pick up some good malty tones and a ribbon of chocolaty sweetness. Definitely for sipping, not slugging.

IndianaRed (1727) - Boise, Idaho, USA - OCT 1, 2007
Bottle pours a deep brown with a light tan head. Aroma of dark carmel and some spicy yeat notes. Flavor is rich and lithly toaste malts with some over ripe pitted fruits and slight sour yeast slants. Moderate body, lively carbonation and a fairly srtong sharp bitterness. I was thinking a bitter hoppy dopple-weizen-bock. Interesting.

jfm (1712) - Holbæk, DENMARK - AUG 6, 2008
Bottle. Nice hopped aroma with a light roasted note. Very deep brown chestnut color with a large beige head. Full roasted body with hints of burned caramel and coffee. Nice hopped palate with a nicely balanced bitterness. Very nice.

topherh (1709) - Kearney, Missouri, USA - JAN 14, 2009
Poured a deep brown with a big beige head. Aroma is ripe fruit, belgian yeast, and sweet malt. Flavor is raisin, toffee, clove and bananas. Very complex. Glad I have a couple more of these to see how they age.

jason (1670) - Easton, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 25, 2008
Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown body with thin head. aroma is choclate, malt, soy sauce, lite hops. Flavor is bitter, lightly hopped, sweet malt and chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. I wish I could have drank this one fresh to experience some of the hoppiness people were talking about.
