3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Indy gathering 2005 from JSquire. This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained no carbonation, was unnoted and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of malty sweet . Its mouth feel is with a palate and a aftertaste. Its flavor contained thin porter like malty sweet notes. A very average brew.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(deliberately) warmed bottle. Fruity gummi-sugar aroma. dark brown with a little beige head. tastes like tutti frutti candy, chocolate coffee on the finish. alcohol shows through a bit, in an OKish way. Best flying fish I’ve had yet, (but then again I don’t like this brewery’s brews much.)
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark pour but clear, decent head and lace. Sweet roasty malts. Chocolaty, but grains show through too much in this beer. Pretty thin and not much to it.

12 oz. bottle. courtesy of Zathrus13. Dark ruby with brown-orange tinges. Small light tan head. Sweet malt, brown sugar, and a lactic tinge in the aroma. Caramel, chalky chocolate. Citrus and metallic hop flavors and some bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is light medium, fairly dry.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle courtesy ’jsquire’ Indy tasting 12/10/05) Aroma is roasted dark malt, cheap coffee, and chocolate. Pours black with medium head and decent lacing. Flavor is a little fruity, roasted carmel and chocolate malts with that light coffee taste in the background. Palate is creamy, clean, and a bit thin. Not bad.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
dark brown pour and a grey light orange head. caramel tea aroma. caramel, lime, and chocolate taste. light honey finish that is hollow. some tart grape in the finish too.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
A solid porter: nice roast. A lot of complexity to the flavour: some fruity tones emerge from the roast. Fairly subtle and balanced: the hops blend very well and the amount of roast is just perfect! My main complaint is that it was very flat, and perhaps a tad too sweet.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Thanks to someone at the Indy Circle City Samplers rate party. Pours a deep deep amber color that appears black outside of the light. Frothy dark tan head. Aroma is roasty with hints of wood, coffee and malt. Flavor somewhat sweet, with dry roasty malts. Very breadlike. Foams on the palate, very strange, yet creamy. This is a very complex beer.
