(12oz bottle batch 77) clear rich brown and copper, no real head to speak of. Nose of chocolate, caramel, peat, super rich, and some honey. Taste of chocolate, honey, big pear, alcohol, medium carbonation and linger of alcohol. Creamy, and super flavorful overall, this beer also has a great linger.

Batch 81. Bottle pours a deep dark brown with a thick beige head. Aromas are cocoa, sweet malt, dark fruits. Smells great! Taste is chocolate, dark fruits like raisin, some caramel, mild coffee with alcohol coming through as it warms and finishes. Body is on the full side, with average carbonation. Beer is thick and creamy....delicious. Overall, a tremendous brew that I am excited about seeing age. Not sure how much will make it, or how long, though.

36cl, Batch 65, American brew, thx to Walt!, very complex brew, malty/roasted and slightly alcoholic/fruity, not too heavy, very balanced, cloudy, small head, very good brew

Tap at fathers office. Deep brown black opaque with decent light tan  and lace. Aromas of chocolate, wood, hops and grain. Med-full body, chocolate, caramel, biscuit, acidic, hoppy, figs, toffee, smoke. Finish is sweet and hoppy - so good. Very good old ale. Caramel, hops and malt complexity. Residual sweetness is balanced extremely well with the hops.

355 ml bottle @ O’hara’s Freehouse. Batch #71.

Same bottle as Benzai. Pure, brown colour with no head. Smells very sweet, caramal, hops and chocolate. Tastes hoppy, bitter and chocolate. No carbo, full body.

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2012 It’s actually an amazing beer. Tried it again, and it was the most incredible experience. Full of complex chocolately, leathery, tobaccoy, wonderful flavor. Unique and wonderful. A favorite.

Hair of the Dog Adam Pours muddy dark brown with no real head. Looks oily. Some retention of the miniscule head. Aroma of sweet rye malt with booze, bourbon and oak notes. Toffee. Lovely. Flavor is awesome with a nice sweet maltiness and a boozy woody bite. Anise, mild bitterness, some cocao. Awesome.
