dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 15, 2008 deep dark brown, ruby highlights, dinky head with minor lacing. smokey chocolate and sweet malt aroma. the sweetness continues in the flavor to become almost, but not quite cloying. light-bodied, a bit bubbly and sweet in the finish. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 13, 2008 Pours dark amber. Toasty sweet caramel malts, mild hop bitterness on top. Hides the alcohol really well. Decent beer, not entirely interesting or rememberable but good nonetheless. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Mar 13, 2008 Bottle pours a dark reddish brown with virtually no head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and brown sugar. Sweet flavor with some subtle fruit notes. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste. LiebeBier (788), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Mar 13, 2008 Bottle - Dark brown color with a thin tan and quickly departing head. Candied sugar and alcohol aroma. Creamy mouthfeel and I like the carbonation level. However, I was turned off by the overwhelming alcohol flavor. Unfriendly finish that leaves you wating before the next sip.

Really strong caramel nose with a little bit of grain. Sweet caramel flavor with some peach notes and an extremely dry feel on the tongue. A really buttery creamy mouthfeel with a mild bitter finish. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Mar 12, 2008 purchased at 99 bottles in federal way, washington.

Hollywoodt (174), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Mar 12, 2008 Poured a dark amber with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma was malty, and a little sweet. The flavor backed this up, but it was kind of bland. It was OK.
