3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft... Pre-GABF ’06 at Falling Rock Tap House, Denver... Cloudy, very dark mahogany ale with a mid-sized, creamy, beige head. Lots going on in the aroma; molasses, dried plum and dark raisin. The flavor matches the nose. Decent balance; moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium to full-bodied, sticky and chewy with lively carbonation. Rich, sweet, dark fruity finish.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour out of 12 oz bottle, dark ruby red almost brown with thin ring of off white head, aroma brings notes of big toffee, caramel, some dark fruits with hints of raisin, touch of heat in there as well with a hint of earth and nutty notes as well. Taste is a mix of sweet caramel, toffee, and a nice vanilla note, some even slight marshmallow notes with fruity dark fruits, hint of cocoa powder and chocolate notes as well, hints of some slight earth finishing fairly sweet, but little to no heat on the taste. Pretty nice! Would like to try one with a year or two of age.
