Burnt orange beer. Thick head when poured and then nothing but a trace of treacly goo. Nose is right on. Dry and yet fruity bitterness from the malts. Like dried fruits. sweet but retaining a sense of dry funkiness tat adds a complex delight. Primarily sweet though. Slight hop presence. Hops shine on the palate though. Malts flood the corners of the mouth at first and then an acrid bitterness overwhelms your mouth. Piney and dirty sticky aftertaste. Dried fruits linger. Palate is firm and weighty. Good beer

Apr 18, 2008 A dark amber beer, sightly opaque with a tiny head. Aroma is of bitter, roasted malt. Taste starts out maty with notes of toffee, coffee, and cocoa. Then a medium-heavy bitterness develops from the hops. Mouthfeel is rich and has a strong bite. I wouldn’t say it’s highly carbonated, just sharp. Finishes with a medium roasted malt flavor and a hint raspberry and chocolate.

Feb 20, 2007 A very drinkable brew. Deep amber color with almost no head. Rich malt complex with nice hopping.

Aug 26, 2005 Murky copper with a nice white head and good lacing. Nice biscuit/bread and grassy aroma. Nice bready malt flavor with grassy hop bite. Very balanced flavor. Great bitter.
