unclemattie (1492), Georgia, USA May 1, 2008 Growler. Pours dark brown. nice malt presence. Flavor is a wonderful rich, toasted malt. Caramel, and a light hop character. Wonderful body. I am very lucky to have savored this sweet goodie. boFNjackson (457), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 20, 2008 Tap @ HUB... Poured a deep ruby with a thin white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma is sweet and tart with malt and fruit. Not a lot of hops in this beer, syrupy and a wonderful malt complexity that is bitter and sweet. Very well balanced and wine-like flavors that lend to caramel and a smooth finish.

Great mouthfeel with a spicy, earthy complex finish. blueturk (63), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Mar 26, 2008 On tap at HUB. Pours a brilliant amber with med/low head.
