Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 16, 2009 From growler courtesy of santoslhalper. Roasty chocolatey malt with molasses and light licorice. Has that smoky sweet tang and malty sweet character with a little hop character. Fruity chocolate covered cherries. Dark brown black clear with a foamy light tan head. Medium heavy body with medium carbonation. Sweet and heavy malt with roasted grain, chocolate, caramel, and molasses. Cherries. Very little bitterness. Warming. This is nice and smooth and delicious. A bit beyond the style but darn good. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 15, 2009 Growler pour courtesy of Jon. Pours brown/red/black, thin brown head. Nose of huge chocolate and cherry, alcohol and caramel. Taste is roasty and caramel, chocolate, with mild bitter. Absolutely tasty, full body. Chewy. Great brew Jon. Please make this one again. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 13, 2009 From a growler that Jon brought to the old club. Pours a really dark brown with some reddish hues and a small 1/2 finger light tan head. Aroma has a ton of cherries and fudge. There is a lot of alcohol presence as well. The flavor is extremely rich. It is some kind of a chocolate cherry cordial. This would be a very nice desert beer. No real flaws. It is a touch sweet, but that is standard for the style in my opinion. Body is like melted butter. This is awesome. TomDecapolis (3122), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 12, 2009 Tap at Earth. Pours a deep brown with amber highlights and a medium very creamy tan head that left great lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, molasses, caramel, nuts and toasted malt. Flavor was sweet and malty, dark fruits, caramel, light smoke, nuts and toffee. jeremytoni (1067), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Feb 8, 2009 From the tap poured dark brown with a small head. Very sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish. dmac (1414), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Feb 7, 2009 Draft. Wow was I impressed with this one. Poured a super deep brown with some maroon highlights around the edges and an average size light beige head. Aroma of peat, smoke, roasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. Perfect palate that was easily quaffable with just a slight hint of the high underlying ABV. Flavors of malts, dark fruits, chocolate, smoke and peat. Excellently done and if Earth was growlering their beers I would have left with about five growlers of this baby. adrian910ss (1394), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 5, 2009 On draft at the brewpub. Pours a dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, candied sugar and malt. Taste of dark fruit, candied sugar and malt. egajdzis (3598), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 4, 2009 Poured a lightly hazy, dark brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, dark fruits, smoke, and chocolate. Taste of caramel, smoke, sweet chocolate, roasted malts, dried fruits, and some alcohol in the finish.
