SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA May 11, 2007 In the bottle. Thanks to Nick S. for the beer. Pours brownish black in color with a tan, slightly sepia-colored small head. Beer has an astringent finish on the sides of the tongue. Not a stout tart bitterness either. The mouth is good- thick palate, but not a dominant flavor to be found. This is surprisingly mild for a Bristol Brewing product. Mid way through the beer, I get a cane sugar sweetness. Why? I don’t know. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA Apr 10, 2007 Very watery pour. Very little head on a dark brown body. Trace tan lacing. Roasted chocolate malt nose, with hints of coffee. Very dry and bitter ending, like a good coffee and a dark chocolate kiss. Thanks, enjoyed. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 7, 2007 Poured a clear deep ruby color with a small creamy tan head. Hoppy and roasty aroma. Notes of citrus and coffee. Roasted malt with a hoppy middle and chocolate finish. The mouthfeel is a little on the dull side. hopdog (5526), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 7, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trades with Kevin & BeerandBlues2 (thanks!).
