tiffanya (40), Sumner, Washington, USA May 6, 2008 Pint from draught at the Milton Tavern. Sweet, sticky, rich. Caramel-toffee malts with notes of nuts and spice. The alcohol definitely brought a smile to my face, similar to what scrizzz reported (funny!)...I found myself grinning ear-to-ear by the time I finished the pint. scrizzz (523), kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 2, 2008 draught at brewery. rich toasty even breakfast oatmeal aroma, rich heavy clear brown, nice lacing. heavily malted complex goodness. long roasted finish. makes me smile JoeMcPhee (3899), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 24, 2005 At the brewpub. Served way too cold, around 4-5 degrees C. Nice burgundy colour. No aroma at all until about 10 minutes of trying to massage some heat into it, but once it had warmed, it gave off a lovely rich malty aroma, toffee, caramel, rye bread, licorice and light spice. Full-bodied. Flavour shows a big maltiness, molasses, licorice, dark cherry. Yeast gives off an interesting minty and herbal character. Once warmed, is a solid brew. Oakes (7030), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Mar 24, 2005 Dark brown with auburn highlights. Aroma of earthy, chocolatey malt. Full body. Smooth, dark malt palate. Slight raspberry note. Chewy, toffeeish finish. Served way too cold, this beer was useless at first glance, but opened up as it warmed and is actually quite a good bock. Crit (2258), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Apr 19, 2004 Didn't care much for this one.Brown in color, beige head. Slightly metallic malt nose.Flavor is all malt but with a yeasty, fatty ending. Decent body
