BeerFanDan17 (610), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA May 5, 2008 On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Served up in a stem glass. Very dark with a nice creamy head. Flavors were extremely good with a balance of malts, chocolate, and even toffee. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA Jun 4, 2008 very underated beer had this on tap at coasters in melbourne florida with saaz buddies nice dark brown color chocolate malt brown sugary nice body and flavor once it is gone it is gone what a shame JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Apr 13, 2008 Growler from Whole Foods Bowery. Deep brown amber beer, creamy tan head. Aroma is rich and sweet. Very clean and malty with lots of sweet toasted caramel character over dates and figs. Lightly earthy throughout but with lots of malty sweetness. Balanced though, with a good richness, but still well-attenuated and very clean. A touch of smokiness and brown sugar throughout. Some rye bread character as well. I think this is underrated... really tasty, IMO. Sregnar35 (729), Rotterdam, New York, USA May 19, 2008 On tap at Mahars. Excellent beer, dark,sweet, a bit of a bite to it, very tasty stuff. AdamSkillin (376), High Bridge, New Jersey, USA May 3, 2008 Draught at Circa 5/2/08. First impression to the palate is huge malty sweetness, but as it warmed, the hotness came out. I wouldn’t mind having this as my only food during a fast. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Apr 19, 2008 Growler. Dark brown with a small head. Flavor is chocolate and toffee with some cigar tobacco. Body is silky smooth with an even better finish. tgncc (796), 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. kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA Apr 12, 2008 Had on draft,this beer poured a reddish brown with a nice tan head.Aromas of malt and caramel.The flavor is slightly sweet with some caramel and brown sugar,with the body lighter than expected,but a real good one anyway.
