thedm (3406), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jun 26, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN marked BBF 05/04/09 poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized light brown colored mostly diminisahing bubbles that left behind a transparent heavily carbonated dark brown colored body and an excellent lacing. The aroma was mildly like old shoes. The mouth feel was tingly bubbly and soda pop like in its palate. The flavor was of cocoa cola syrup sweet dark malts and slightly strangely off the mark. Very different but not much to my liking.
KnN (272), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Sep 5, 2008 I’m not sure if this is an off bottle or if this is how it’s supposed to taste, but this reminded me of a grand cru or some other sour beer. A hint of cherry and dark fruit, but there’s a strong lactic acid twang going on there too. Not unpleasant, but not what I was expecting from this beer. robforbes (734), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 1, 2008 pours a dark brown with a ruby tint, large bubbly tan head, some lacing.
smell is strange, hard to put my finger on, grapes, dark fruit, touch of vanilla, malt, some licorice, and some caramel.
taste is very sour and tart, sour grape, fruits and berries, some cocoa, licorice, malt, slightly bitter. Ibrew2or3 (1705), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Aug 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 26, 2008Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep clear garnet with thin mocha head. The aroma is pungent with bold dark fruity esters, some chemical alcohol notes, licorice and musty dewy fruitiness. The taste is as bold and sweet as the aroma with dark sugar coated fruitiness then becoming somewhat like red wine and tannin dryness. I also get a sugar porridge type sensation that’s mild and muted. Body seems really thin considering the level of sweetness in this beer. Sick_boy282 (1074), San Diego, California, USA Aug 14, 2008 Pours a deep brown hue with a nice slight tan head. Aromas of cola, rum, and some weird rice funk. Mouth feel is very light bodied. Flavors of rice milk......mmmmm... very light bodied for the style, more flavors of noting much else. A light sweetness, a mellow finish with more flavors of coke.
The bottle says 7%abv. fishingnet (805), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber brown with a huge large bubbled light tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of cola, alcohol, and dark fruit. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and warm slightly hot alcohol. Decent.
