ChrisFest A beer with a reputation, and one of Jackson’s Classic Brews; a beer that takes its name (not not the style) from the long gone Dortmunder Adam Bier - a top fermenting dark beer from the days before Dortmund became overwhelmed with lager brewing. So it was a bit disappointing that this was not that enjoyable. Foamy carbonation. A lot of American hops crowded together in a clash of intense obscure flavours where nothing is quite distinct enough. Strong sweet malt. As with a number of other intense beers, this was just too much for me.

Oct 11, 2008 [Bottle] shared by guerde. Pours a deep brown with a moderate tan head. Aroma is caramel, raisins, and dark fruits. Flavor is roasted barley, dark fruits, alcohol, a little bit of smokey, earthy flavors. Very light in the mouth, yet rich and full of flavor.

Oct 11, 2008 a well thought out review has been lost due to some kind of glitch in the system. though my interest in rewriting my review is gone my memory of a good brew will linger for some time to come!

Oct 11, 2008 Pours cola brown with big tan head. Sweet aroma of brown sugar, caramel, hops and some smokiness. Alcohol is slightly noticible. Toasted malt flavor with lots of sweetness and some hop bitterness. Full body with prickly carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel.

Oct 1, 2008 12 oz bottle from batch 72. Poured a dark chocolate cloudy brown with a light brown small but thick looking head. It just looks like its a thick beer.The nose exploded upon opening the bottle,sweet, chocolate, belgian yeast. Some decent carbonation, and interesting complex flavor, with a very bitter finish,and a strong hint of alcohol. Hints of cola, chocolate, with a smokey tinge. This is no doubt hearty.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Batch number 70. Pours a rich brown. Very tobacco-like on the nose. Very sweet in flavor. Very rich, chocolate, raisin, and dark dried fruit flavors. Finish is smoky like a cigar. Very different ale but a really really good.
