Mar 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy of bdigi66 at the Fort Wayne Winter Gathering.Small fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, very little carbonation, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. Nose was hoppy, grapefruit, malt, and some spice notes. Flavor was not as good as the nose IMO.Hoppy, spicy, bitter, some maltiness, and seemed to be somewhat acidic.Medium in body.I am not sure what was going on with the flavor of this beer as it seemed to be somewhat disjointed and did not leave me wanting this one again.

Mar 24, 2008 A dark amber appearance with a rather large head. The aroma contains a hint of citrus but plenty of dark fruit and caramel. The flavor is quite malty with hints of chocolate and raisins. Some citrus in the background. Overall this one is a confused beer and stuck in the middle of the hop and malt world with not much complexity. Its pretty good anyway.

Mar 23, 2008 Dirty Amber/Brown looking body with nice tan head. Nice nose, malty like a deep imperial stout but also a slight dark dried fruit smell. Nice flavor, great coordination of the bitter and the sweet, coffee notes, molasses. Quite a nice beer. Very drinkable.

Mar 23, 2008 Not a bad brew but also not the best Lagunitas I have had, my favorite is still Kill Ugly Radio. This brew was very malty and one could almost immediately tell by the dark cooper color of the body, smooth but felt it was overwhelmed by malt and not enough hops.

Mar 22, 2008 Poured into snifter glass. Very light brown in color. Light carbonation. Smells like what I’ve been told is rye. I think it’s fruit, but there’s something complex in here. I can’t put my finger on this beer, but it’s good, enjoyable, and really drinkable.
