Jul 1, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear, dark burgundy brown with a foamy tan head. Lacy arcs. Cocoa, light vinous, cola and peat. Rich and chewy caramel and toffee. Dried figs and a burnt sugar bite end with light grassy drying. Another winner from Founders.

Jun 30, 2007 bottle from billvane: pours a brown colour with a tan head that leaves a thin line with some small amounts of lacing. aroma of caramel malts, earthy hops and a small amount of dark fruit and roastedness. flavour is roated, chocolate, caramel malt to start with dried fruit and some chewy bread. a very little amount of hops in the finish. this is a very thick and creamy on the palate, but most enjoyable.

Jun 29, 2007 Poured a lightly hazy, reddish brown color with a medium sized, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of peat smoke, caramel malts, light roast, earth, and a bit of alcohol as well. Taste of roast, chocolate, smoke, with some caramel, light dried fruits, with a dry, smoky, alcoholic finish.

Jun 29, 2007 bottle....apearance: dark-amber reddish brown which poured with a one inch off-white head....aroma: dark fruits, pretty malty albeit with some hope bitterness to it as well....taste: caramel malt sweetness, smokey with a bit of roasted bitterness that cuts through in the finish. a medium bodied beer that definitely is satisfying.

Jun 28, 2007 Deep brown beer with a light amber-red tint to it. Sweet toasty aroma, light berry fruitiness behind heavy brown sugar, light molasses and a sweet plumminess as well. Deep caramelized malt with a touch of burnt sugar character as well. Very rich tasting. Flavour shows a bit of peppery ethanol behind the sweet toffee and caramel. Slight salty with a hint of smoke on the back. Nice stuff.

Jun 28, 2007 Pours a nice brown color with a beige head. Hints of malt, alcohol, and hops in the aroma. Has a very earthy taste in which the hops nicley balance out the maltiness. Nice beer!

Jun 25, 2007 Poured dark red almost brown with tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, hops, and spice. Strong flavor of sweet malt to start followed up by hints of spice and caramel.

Jun 24, 2007 I had this yesterday for my first beer on tap for founders 10th anniversary. Pours out a little thicker and darker than i remember the bottle, but the same great taste is there.
