May 8, 2008 This was a nice change of pace at DLD. Had a nice sweet fruitiness to it. It was also on the dry side. I’d drink this one again.

May 8, 2008 Sampled at DLD 08. Pours dark amber with thick tan head. Aroma is malt, raisens and brown suger. Flavor is sweet malt, brown suger, some figs or raisens and some chocolate. Wish I would have had the Russion River stuff but this wasn’t to bad.

May 8, 2008 Sample at DLD; due to a line screw up I originally had it rated under RR Compunction. Original rating copied and paste below (Real ale sample at DLD; probably had about a close to a cup of it. Flavor was more sweet than tart for me. Alot of fruit in the flavor; some citrus and berries. Some oakish and wood elements. Palate reminded me a bit of seltzer water. It seems like I was one of the only ones not overly impressed. )

May 5, 2008 On-tap at O’Brien’s a few weeks back. Smells malty sweet and slightly sour, like sour mash. Looks clearish red/brown, fluffy offwhite head, some lace. Tastes malty sweet, oatmeal, chocolatey but lighter than a stout. There is also a bit of booze flavor on the finish. Smooth, medium body with mellow carb. Tastey and better than Saucerful of Merkin for sure.
