Newcastle goes to Washington. Dark fruit aroma has a trist with malt. A Date with Raisin? Hops keeps it safe to drink..but little more influence. A sweet jazz song. Looks like a glass of cola. Tastes better as it cools from too low a temp. There is a joke in the movie "Beerfest" about drinking ram’s piss. There are two ram’s offering you a beer on this bottles label. I suggest you listen to the rams. Might be a little too dank sweet for me. Too long sitting in a darkened bar?

Jul 16, 2008 Roasted malty aroma of dark bread, syrup and chocolate. Syrupy-sweet flavor is roasted malts, bread and chocolate. Very tasteful.

Jul 16, 2008 Great, especially with food. Perfect balance for a dopplebock - not too sweet. Highly drinkable. Full bodied, creamy complex malt taste. Dark fruit flavors were excellent. Nothing stands out. Not much hops of course. Lightly bitter finish.

Jul 15, 2008 Pours blackish-brown, with a frothy head that thins quickly. A very full-flavored brew tasting of burnt malt, almost coffeelike, with a hint of fuitiness. An enjoyable beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Pours an oily brown/black with thin mocha colored head. Musty fruits on the nose, plums, prunes, raisins, apricots as well as toasted chocolate and light coffee aromas which tingle the olfactory glands. A well rounded mouthfeel with diverse and contrasting flavors all over the palate, yet at the same time remaining refreshing and fairly well balanced. Mustiness of the myriad flavors provides a grandfather like association for me and leaves me with an espresso-like drying finish which leaves me to contemplate about stuff. Not overly potent, but the alcohol always seems to kick in harder on this brew. Not bad at all sir.
