New beer in town. Well, at least for us. Aroma of roasted malts, bread and oats, a touch of coffee, and salted nuts. Flavors of dark caramel, mild coffee, crusty bread, and toffee. Pretty decent and easy drinking.

12 oz bottle from the Bier Stein. Malt odor to this but nothing more, no depth or complexity to taste either, malt and very overly carbonated. Brown pour with bubbles and almost no head to speak of. Disappointing since I was hoping for something a little "bolder" due to the name.

Crushed with Honkeybra. No nose whatsoever. At least there was no chlorine or poop. Very dry finish. Smooth drinking but completely unremarkable.

Crushed with TheDude in Galesburg, IL. Bold is a misnomer for this brew, as nothing, other than perhaps the assertion that it is bold, is bold about this beer. It’s dark brownish. Has an impression of a head. No nose to speak of. Some sweet malt tones and maybe some caramel and nutty impressions, if I’m straining. Not impressed, wouldn’t touch this again.

Draft at brewtopia in 07. Pours a brown body with an off white head. Sweet malty, nutty caramel. Light chocolate and ripe fruit. Beer was decent, the folks serving were something else.

Smells malty, nutty, and raisins. Taste is chocolaty, very dark fruit, nutty, malty, not too sweet, a little thin. Good stuff, would drink again.
