bookman10 (340) - Osseo, Minnesota, USA - JAN 13, 2012
Pours a nice dark amber with moderate head. Aroma of roasted malt and nuts. Flavor is malty and sweet with a strange, astringent aftertaste that isn’t entirely pleasant. Not their best offering.

Beershine (4712) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - JAN 12, 2012
Draft. Brown with nice lacing. Cola and artificial cream soda aromas. Flavors of bubblegum powder on the outside of bazooka and lavender. Quite disappointing.

DSG (3005) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - JAN 11, 2012
Bottle sample at "Beers 2012" exhibition in Tel Aviv. Clear dark amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, some fruitiness and a bit of alcohol spiciness. Sweet malty flavor with caramel, honey and a drier finish. Medium-bodied.

BlackIPA (326) - Rochester, New York, USA - JAN 3, 2012
Tap at Bubba Gump, Times Square. Pours a deep reddish amber with a off white head. Aroma of malts , toffee and bread. Tastes toffee, thin wheat and a hint of roast. Thin mouthfeel. Decent brew.

DruncanVeasey (5145) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - JAN 2, 2012
Tap at the brewery, 17/12/11. Mahogany with a thin cream lid. Light vegetal matter, nuttiness, Minstrels aroma. Alcohol showing; weak squashy dried fruits, fig. Dab of walnut-like oiliness, fizzed up. Slight and pleasant....but more significantly, I have finally, unknowingly netted the Nessie of beer styles- A SCOTTISH ALE!!! Seriously, WTF? If this is a Scottish I’ve tasted thousands.

shonobiwan (109) - Sound Beach, New York, USA - DEC 31, 2011
Long Island, NY - poured into a lager glass from a growler. Pours a hazy brown with moderate layer of golden bubbles. Aroma is of roasted malt and a slithering of winter spices. I can sense nutmeg and other spices. Initial taste buds into a malty mix and runs into a bitter end with the nutmeg. A nice production from Brooklyn brewery. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bcromwellsmith (5) - , New York, USA - DEC 31, 2011 does not count
Nice dark amber color with a decent head that quickly fades. Slightly hoppy aroma, but more sour than hops, earthy tones. Carbonation is light - it has a nice feel on my tongue. The taste is pleasant but non-descrept. A little sour, a little hops but also a little boring. This is a fine beer, very drinkable, but I would not go out of my way to find it (not that it is hard to find in the greater NYC area).

Dark amber colour. Off-white head. Lively condition. Some light spices o the nose. Also some caramel. More of the same on the palate. A little sweet on the palate. Quite tasty.
