A: The pour is nearly flat and very dark brown in color, almost black, with a short lived and thin off-white head. S: Smells mostly like molasses and brown sugar, with perhaps just a bit of vanilla. A touch of raisins to go with it along with some roasted malts. T: The flavor is more toward the roasted side with a bit of ash and burnt sugar character. It’s slightly watery with some miscellaneous dark fruit flavors. The more I drink, the more I pick up on a pretty strong bitterness. M: The body is medium and the carbonation is pretty darn low. D: Wasn’t really a fan of this beer at all. It sounded like it could be a promising beer, but that just didn’t turn out to be the case.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate. Dark chocolate and fruit in the flavor. Nice sweetness and roasted malt. Decent brew.

Thanks Josh for sharing this. Poured a dark brown (almost black) color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of dark fruits, chocolate, a little earthy, and caramel. Tastes of caramel, nuts, roast, dark fruits, and lighter chocolate.

Hazy dark brown color with a small tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, dark fruits, some cocoa, and caramel. Taste of light roast, nuts, fruit, and a dryer finish.

Pours a deep brown pushing almost black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of vanilla, earthy notes, dark fruits and toffee. Flavor of toffee, nutty, dry yet malty.

Bomber thanks to rateyourpoison for sharing! Pours a deep brown with a small light tan head. Aroma is sweet and slightly burnt toast with some dark fruit notes, chocolate, a bit candied fruit. Flavor is a mix of dark chocolate. milk chocolate and dark fruits. Roasty and sweet from start to finish. A touch spicy in the finish. Mediumish body and a softer carbonation. Interesting beer, a bit straightforward, not a ton of complexity but smooth and very drinkable.

22oz bottle from the brewery. Pours a dark brown with a beige head. Malty nose, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and a woody/rye spiciness that I enjoy. The flavor reflects these notes with that chocolate, caramel maltiness that seems a bit overly sweet paired with the woody and rye spiciness. The spicyness seems to go beyond the wood and rye to encompass the bourbon alcohol. Although this is overly sweet, I enjoyed this brew.

Thanks to holdenn for sharing. Bottle, pours dark brown with tan head. Nose is sweet with brown sugar, toffee, and toasted nuts. Flavor comes off rather sweet and simple with brown sugar, toffee, toasted nuts, and chocolate. Med body an alc in check. A really simple tasting and forgetable brew.

22oz btl (could have sworn the btl said it was 9.5% abv but maybe not). Pours a deep dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is one of roasted malt and candied sugar. Medium bodied mouthfeel with strong roasted malt flavors and notes of dark fruit. A bit of mild spice towards the finish. Reminiscent of Bell’s Hell Hath No Fury. An interesting almost stout. I liked it but it left me wanting a bit more.

Bomber. Pours really dark brown with tan head. has the looks of a stout. Aroma of roasted malts, sweet chocolate, caramel, and a bit of smoke. Flavors of roasted malts, caramel, chocolate syrup, and bit of faded coffee. Mouthfeel was a little thinner than I expected. Decent beer but was expecting something different.
