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?

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.

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.

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. <br /><br /><font size=-4>Single bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=14352><u>Cornfield’s</u></a> cellar.<font size=-1><br />

Like a soup that has only boiled a few min... the hops were there the malts were there but very dishwattery. You don’t get much of anything with this beer and I would not keep it in "stock"
