FishManLA (284), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Apr 5, 2008 Pours a clear dark rusty brown with a large light brown fluffy, moussey head that persists for a long time. Nose of dark fruits, nuts and malts. Smokey taste of dark fruits. Noticeable flavor resemblances to a port wine or cognac. Nice sweet smoky finish. Duff53 (22), USA Apr 3, 2008 Nice brown look to it with a fluffy off color head. Nice fruity dark flavor with a hint of chocolate and smoke grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Mar 31, 2008 Strong aroma of yeast with some sweetness mixed in (dark fruits). Highly carbonated, lively on the palate. Yeast flavors w/ dark fruit ending with a nice smoked flavor.
donteatpoop (124), Youngstown, Ohio, USA Mar 30, 2008 A nice dark brown with an inch of ivory head, the head remains throughout.
Smells of earth and hops and toasted malts.
The mouth is immediatley met by the taste of toasted malts and port and finally a hint of chocolate.
Rich and creamy in the mouth, a bit heavy on the carbonation. Great after taste.
Very drinkable. Wish I’d bought more than one. I’ll definately buy this one again.

Definite surprise! gator2683 (133), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 26, 2008 light fruity aroma, deep brown with medium beige head. starts off fizzy and dry with a little sour, then changes to a general dark fruit/yeast combination. FatTony (121), Augusta, Georgia, USA Mar 26, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured a perfect caramel brown/gold with a huge blond head. Aroma was very sour and yeasty, but the sourness did not carry through in the taste. Champagne like carbonation was actually very pleasant. Taste was all toasted yeast with some slight fruitiness, very mellow and enjoyable. Good beer, I liked it.
