willblake (1919), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Apr 28, 2008 20070303 Growler? Caramel amber color, miniature head. Malty, pretzel-like aroma is also slightly sour. Kinda like a tasty strong alt. Good, but weird.
JoeMcPhee (3643), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jan 30, 2008 Tap at Barcade. Deep brown crystal clear beer topped by a thin off-white head. Aroma is strange... a sort of dirty malt character, so nuttiness and light solventy notes. Flavour is not good either, sweet and lightly nutty with a peppery solvent note. Fatty and rancid. Sweet and butterscotchy but lacking balance completely. golubj (946), Redwood City, California, USA Jan 18, 2008 Draft at Barcade. Brown / orange pour. The aroma is sweet malt, fruit, and some roastiness. Flavor was the same, a decent example of the style. alexanderj (1196), Roanoke, Virginia, USA Jan 18, 2008 On tap at Barcade. My first beer from this brewery, although I have owned a pint glass of their’s for a few years. Aroma was fruity and malty with some fruits and nuts/chocolate. Flavor was fairly sweet with again some fruit and malty characteristics. Palate was ok, but maybe slightly thin. goldtwins (3672), Nesconset, New York, USA Jan 3, 2008 Tap @ Barcade. Poured a clear mahogany color with an off-white head. The aroma was fairly fruity with notes of raisins, grapes, and a hint of chocolate. The flavor was clean and fruity with some mild notes of raisins and a touch of cocoa on the dry finish. Light side of a medium body. Smooth mouth feel with a light carbonation.
