thedm (3405), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Dec 25, 2005 The DM & Hotstuff vacation tour July 2005. This draft brew hand pulled at Stouts in NYC poured a almost no head at all with foamy finely sized quickly diminishing bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was nearly opaque and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of vinous mild dark malts. Its mouth feel is thin, flat and lack luster. Its flavor contained mild malty notes. fiulijn (5695), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Oct 12, 2005 Keg Dark brown color. Ordinary aroma, a lot oRound, sweet, a lot of caramel, the necessary bitterness. No excitement. PorterPounder (2755), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 4, 2005 Updated: Oct 14, 2005Rerate Notice more chocolate in the aroma this time around with a bit more smokiness. Noticeable alcohol appearance, slippery mouthfeel Original 3.2 Had on tap at Summit’s Wayside Tavern in Atlanta, Ga, Has a pleasant dark amber appearance with an faint, off-white, yet sticky head with light lacing. Has a bit of a Christmas spice aroma, but not real apparent. Decent stick to your ribs flavor - slightly spicy with a bit of hoppy trailing bitterness with some back end smokiness. Good, thick mouthfeel. First impression is that it is a bit phenolic - but it mellows as it warms.
