boto (1241), Granby, Connecticut, USA Nov 18, 2006 12oz bottle: I didn’t realize that this one had been retired. It pours a cloudy brown color with a bit of head, which drops off rather quickly. The aroma is good, but a tad light. Notes of toffee and caramel malts. Possibly some raisins also. The taste is OK. Somewhat sweet, with some roastiness and dryness in the aftertaste. Not bad. Why did they kill this one? FROTHINGSLOSH (1560), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 10, 2006 This beer came to me in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma is molasses, maple syrup and light roasty malts. The flavor is molasses, raisin and moderate roasty malts. A rather nice beer. DewBrewer (249), Austin, Texas, USA May 23, 2006 12 oz bottle. Reddish brown color, clear, medium head. The aroma has a big caramel character. Woah, the flavor has an interesting burnt flavor with a good deal of bitterness. Okay, so I like burnt flavors. The carbonation stayed around so that was nice, too. Interesting & good beer, try one. frankenkitty (1834), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Jan 31, 2006 Clear, deep mahogany/brown with a small, tan head. Aroma holds pronounced caramel & oak with broth and an "oily" quality. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is smoky with caramel malt flavor leading to a dirty, dry finish.

You don’t get much of anything with this beer and I would not keep it in "stock"
