does not count  Oct 11, 2007 I like this beer its a good beer for those who have never tried a darker beer. It is sweet but for those of us who aren’t in love with the crazy bitterness found in IPA’s i don’t think it will be a problem. Obviously, my fellow raters are no strangers to the dark side, and have forgotten what its like to just be starting out.

Apr 26, 2008 clean dark dark brown, black in the center. fluffy bountiful head took quite some time to settle. wood smoked bacon aroma. goodness this is tasty. deep roast flavor and light enough in body to fully appreciate it. the delicate smokiness lingers and i never get a hint of any alcohol or harshness. perhaps these early low ratings were the result of poor lines. now that it’s bottled opinion must change.

May 13, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours thin and dark brown and cream head fades to the edges; aromas are earthy, some chocolate and candy sugar; texture is creamy and drinks sweet; slight roast to it but needs more body as it is quite thin; disappointing as a stout, but pretty decent as a dark ale i think; drinks smooth with dry finish; sweetness lingers
