Bottle courtesy of kramer’s amazing pile of Bullfrog treats at BCTC. Pours a mostly clear brown with a thin white head. Oak and caramel on the nose. Slightly sweet with some esters and acetaldehyde coming through along with some big plum notes.

Meaty, toffee, chocolate notes, light peat and a dark warming malt bill. Reminds me of seasoned meat and and carrot spice. Odd beer.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Tap at bullfrog- Pours a deep sligh hazy brown with a thin head. Aroma is earthy leather, malt sweetness, caramel and some chocoalt enuttyness. Flavor is a doughy with lots more earht and leather and becomes a bit phenolic with a hint of mintiness and a moderate sweet caramel backbone. Somewhat smooth on the finsih but had an earthy almost smokey bite. fredandboboflo (1404), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 31, 2008 Tap. Aroma of gritty, earthy malt, tart fruits (cherry, cassis, or black currant I guess in English), kinda funky with some strawberry yogurt. Flavor has that yogurt character with toffee-ish malt, nuts, lots of earth. Increasing cherry liqueur character combines with the yogurty presence to create an unpleasant taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. More than anything else I’ve typed here, this last sentence really sums up the beer for me, as it was not a favorite.
