1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Tried this at Huntsville Beer Week at Famous Joes Pizza. It was very very bad, I couldn’t finsh the bear. Flavor was yeast slight malt and water (maybe it was the bottom of the keg. Had strong flavor of dish water. I later sampled it, and it tasted nothing like at Famous Joes... seems very inconsistent.

Draft at Stem and Stein. Pours amber with no head. Nose is cloying with strong alcohol. A bit of maltiness on the tongue. Lots of hoppiness on the finish. A weirdly imbalanced beer. Not exactly pleasurable to drink.

Growler from Bleeng. Pours a dark amber with a very small quickly diminishing light tan head. The aroma is raisin malt and caramel. Thin mouthfeel and a bit flat with a smokey oak finish. A good amber from Blue Pants.

Bottle from Bleeng. Thanks!
Pours an average amber with a dense body and a decent head. Aroma is biscuity rose and light hairspray. Flavor is raisin-sweet candy and malted sugar. Average mouthfeel. Tasty.

Thanks to bleeng for sending this to Houston. Mahogany red pour....sadly it lost some carbonation. Sweeter malt nose with some brown sugar notes. Flavor is roasted malts, biscuit, some hops and has a nice finish.

Draft @ the Nook. Hazy brown in the glass with a creamy off-white head, that left some lasting and good lace. Nice chocolate aroma with a hint of a nut undertone. The chocolate flavor with a backing of light roast, nut, and hop. Medium body, smooth, malty aftertaste.

Pours ruby red with a tan head. Smells of some nutty hints, earthy, light fruity touches. Tastes rosey and earthy with some light citrus on the finish.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at the HYP beer tasting. Pours dark brownish-red with minimal head. The aroma is bread, nuts, apples and light citrus. The flavor is fairly bitter with a good malt backbone, yet not really balanced. The palate is medium with lots of carbonation and a little astringent. Overall, an interesting beer with lots of flavor, but not really going anywhere.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2011 Draft from a growler. Aroma is quite malty -- caramel, biscuits, nuts, and some fruit (apple?). Flavor is well balanced. Lots of nuts, caramel, and roasted malt and long bitter finish. Tastes more like a brown to me. Soft mouthfeel. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Good first beer from the new folks in Huntsville.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
I tried this at Famous Joe’s Pizza in Madison. Was surprised at how cloudy the beer was and had my doubts about it because I usually don’t like heavy beers. I was very surprised that it was not heavy and it had a great taste. A slight hopsy aftertase but not overpowering. I’d definitely recommend it.
