Even from the window, the hefty density of the experience can be perceived...Assertive funky black grape winds lick thoroughly as cloaked profundity gets you up and running to the open door...From a smoky chocolate wing promontory, you take an ecstatic dive into an incomparable muddy and earthy sky, plummeting through full prunes and sourish clouds...A bitter parachutes deploys somewhat ill-mannered yet galvanic in a pumpernickel storm to gently lay you down on firm farm ground where underfoot and all around blares at you the indecipherable perfume of botanical wonders...Adam is this omniscient yearning for inexhaustible liveliness and permeating imagination...He embraces the immeasurable, the seemingly immobile yet immortal, this vivifying awesomeness and the thrill of the infinite that resides in the perfect equilibrium of randomness and order... He is a World...An everchanging world though, sometimes too acid in the finish, sometimes too homogenous in its maltiness and thus lacking decadence and definition and sometimes the immensely pleasurable roller coaster of flavors described above...From 4.8/5 to 4.0/5, this is an experience I try to live over and over again, just to see if it’s going to be as devilishly enlightening as I know it can be...And I never regret it...

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.
