Pours a very dark amber with a large light tan head and nice lacing. Stunning. Quite hoppy with a decent amount of bitter malts to boot. The finish was pretty dry and bitter (just like me)!!!!

Hard to peg this, no doubt. A bit too much sweet molasses for me. Yet this is fantastically complex. Is it suped up brown ale or porter or Beligan ale? Who cares? It just rocks.

Darker brown pour with a medium tan-beige head. Aroma is sweet with some dominant citrus and floral hops along with some nice rye and darker fruit. Flavor has a pleasant grass/citrus hoppiness wth some rye, honey, molasses, and a good overall sweetness. Nice brew - would be extremely unique if it weren’t for Stone 11th Anniversary - it doesn’t match the Stone, but its still a really good brew!

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2009 22 oz. bottled in 2007 poured into a Trappist glass has a a black color with red highlight when held to the light. carbonation is fairly steady and there is a nice looking tan layer on the surface that seemed to erupt from the center through the whole glass. aroma consists of tons of dark ripe fruit, brown sugar, malt, spicy yeast, and molasses. I’m thinking at this point that this one is a real treat. flavor is just as the nose with gobs of plumb, raisin, prune, creamy molasses malt, quite chewy with hops and yeast spices mixing very nicely. mouth feel is complementary coating the tongue with a medium body. alcohol is faintly noticeable and there is a light hit of anise finishing with back round dry hops and some malted bitter. this is well balanced and one of the best i have tried from Avery.

Dark chestnut brown with a fair head and lace. Aromas of molasses, and dark floral fruit. Medium body, sweet tastes of raisins, malt, dark fruits, and a light balance of dry hops. Finishes sweet.

Black with thick, rocky, dark tan head. Good lacing. Aroma is nice. I could smell it as I poured it. Chocolate. Malt w/ some roastiness and a slight sweetness. Cookies. Flavor is not as sweet as expected. Mostly roasted malt. Full bodied. A slight lingering bitterness that distracts a little.

Pours a dark brown with no haze. Huge, creamy, frothy off-white head that disappears slowly and leaves a sticky lace all over the glass. Smells of sweet sugars and malts right up front, but you also get the tell tale citrusy smell of hops. Tastes big and sweet, a little chocolatey up front with a little coffee as well. Hoppy on the finish, sweet citrusy, orange. A bit thick, with pretty good carbonation. This beer is very, very tasty and interesting.
