Bottle… GSRARO Throwdown… Murky prune-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Subdued aroma consists of oak earthiness, acidity and blackberry sweetness. Light-bodied, watery and effervescent. Fruity, sour, funky flavor. Tart, tangy, dry finish. Kudos to GodOfThunder for providing this one!

PilsnerPeter (2959) - Flushing, New York, USA - JAN 31, 2009
Bottle: Thanks FlacoAlto! Pours a nice muddy maroon with a dense pinkish tan head. Aroma is dominated by sweet blackberry and currant. Perhaps a touch of oak is there with a vigorous swirl and a light diacetyl hint. Very light and vacant feel- like seltzer on the palate. Nondescript flavor. Neither acidic nor acetic. Light tartness with currant jam, and a tad tannic. Musty old oak, perhaps when it warms. Not much comes through; as it lacks texture and body, big time. Seltzer like.

ilovedarkbeer (1887) - Abilene, Texas, USA - JAN 24, 2009
Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a brown hazy color with a medium sized canvas colored head that has a purple tint to it. Pretty good lacing. Nose is blackberries, concord grapes and jam and a faint hint of graham cracker. Mouthfeel is tangy fizzy and acidic and the taste is mostly a combination of communion grape juice, sap, and blackberries. The tastes splits in half on the finish meaning the up front flavors quickly fade. Tasty.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge, rocky, light brown head that leaves good lacing covering a very dark, hazy purple-brown body. Aroma of blackberry syrup, blackberry seeds, fruit jam and grapes. Taste is a bit vinous with grape, blackberry, silt and leather. Lively bubbles with a dry mouthfeel.
