Nov 24, 2009 On tap at the Twisted Spoke. Pours a deep brown nearly black with a thick tan head. Very toasty, like toasted sweet maple bread. Just a slight bit of smokiness. The more I smell the more I think the toast is getting burnt! Flavor starts with a dark chocolate malt sweetness, and again picks up some maple. Gives way to a dark fruitiness and slight sharpness in the finish. Finishes a bit bland and boring not a whole lot of flavor resonate. Some residual sugars keep this way too sweet and cloying. Mediumish body and a soft carbonation. Easy drinking, though thin bodied and one dimensional.

Sep 12, 2009 Very deep brown. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, bread, and a bit of yeast. Flavor unfortunately falls off dramatically. Thin body, some watery chocolate, and a faintly sour fruit finish. Too bad, really nice aroma just didn’t go through.

Apr 21, 2009 06 Bottle. Not sure if age did this any good. Aroma has a bit of a twang as well as the taste. Some tartness and woody sourness and a hint of alcohol bourbon and vanilla. Taste has this tobacco oilyness almost rotten and leather that is not pleasing at all.

Apr 20, 2009 2006 bottle brought by Dickinsonbeer to the Beer Wars preparty, thanks Paul for a new state rating AND the worst beer of the night. The aroma on this was still way boozy despite its age. The flavor was like a combination of vinegar and spoiled chocolate. This was my only drainpour of the night and I actually need to apologize to the drain for exposing it to this abomination.
