Dark fruit aromas. Dark brown/mahogany color with a decent tan head. At least medium body with very fine carbonation. A bit vinous - almost like grape and plum, with smoothly roasted malt. Slightly sweet, a bit of nuttiness, and arguably floral hop. It’s really quite delicious.

Grap and licorise aroma. Brown-Black with quickly disappearing head. Very sweet, brown sugar malt flavours.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, and roast. The flavor is sweet, nuts, and mild roast. Good beer.

Pretty average. far too sweet for even a brown ale. Nothing redeeming here.

Bottle. Pours dark brown color with an average frothy off-white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Good malty toasted aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Heavy sweet complex flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.

Pours brown with a small tan head. The aroma is nutty, coffiesh, and chocolaty. The flavor has a ligt roasted coffiness and a light finish.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma is nutty, molasses, caramel, and slight roast. The flavor is sweet, nutty, thin, and mild roast. Good brew.

Sweet molasses smell and taste, with no hops anywhere. Pretty dark brown. Not to my taste, but probably a quality Mild Ale.

Bottle... Clear crimson ale with a tiny, creamy, lightly tanned head. Nutty, earthy aroma. Sweet, port-like esters with mild chocolate. Medium-bodied with faint carbonation. Mid-length, sweet, vinous finish.

Sample at AleFest Dayton: Dark brown color with a nil off-white head and very little lacing. Aroma of molasses and sweet malt. Medium-bodied and smooth with a mild malt and nut flavor, with a bit of stale coffee. The finish is short and soft with a roasted malt and tart fruit aftertaste. Pretty average.
