Rogueone (311), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 1, 2008 Sampler @ brewpub. Nom nom nom, this was good. Poured a deep brown, with a tan bubbly head that stuck to the side of the glass all the way down. Smelled of chocolate malts and toffee, and a very strong alcoholic nose. Great malt complexity here. I get burnt coffee, dry chocolate malts. This beer is quite tasty and dangerous. Drjohnrock (94), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Dec 10, 2007 Draft sampler at brewpub. Dark brown color, sweet aroma, rich malty flavor with enough hops to let you know they are there. Really good brew that I wouldn’t hesitate to order again but with a full serving. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 07/22/2007

sweet dark chocolate and caramel aroma,
rich chocolate flavor backed up by the dark caramel, hint of dark fruit, bock sweetness eventually emerges from the caramel malt depths, smokey earthy balance, light bitter finish from the earthyness

ogglethorp (752), Ohio, USA Aug 25, 2007 Tap Ohio Brew Week. Pours hazy brown color with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is caramel, brown sugar. Flavor is caramel, brown sugar, perhaps some toast notes. Palate is medium bodied, mild carbonation, finishes sweet. Nothing to write home about. Jvittorio4187 (255), Boardman, Ohio, USA Aug 10, 2007 Pours a very dark amber with an offset tan head. Big fruit on the nose with figs, dates, rasins, and chocolate, slight roast. Taste is as big as the nose with a lingering roast finish.
