The aroma was somewhat spicy, sweet, and alcohol. The palate was average. The finish was clean. scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA May 13, 2008 Draft - RFD. Dark orangey brown, light tan creamy head. Nose held notes of sweet caramel raisin and cherry. Warming brings out soft earthed doughy-like notes. Cherry caramel malt flavors balance on lighter notes of bread, and just a hint of smoke. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying, malty finish. Nice brew... tgncc (798), Bellmore, New York, USA May 10, 2008 Growler from Shoreline Beverage in Huntington, NY. Very enticing aroma of malts, fruit, banana-like aromas, very pleasing. The appearance is very dark, an opaque brown, not usually seen with this style. Nice off-white head. Very attractive. The flavor is amazing, definite maltiness, fruit, mostly plums, raisins and bananas, very complex and satisfying. The palate leaves a fruity sweetness. Thick mouthfeel. Great beer. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA May 8, 2008 Updated: May 9, 2008Sampled at Tank’s Tap Room (Carrollwood, FL). Very dark brown color with a decent head. Not a huge fan of the aroma, reminded me mostly of malt vinegar. Flavor was better as I picked up the tastes of the caramel and toffee, roasted malts, and brown sugar. Enjoyed the bitterness in the finish.
