An amber apperance. This one was rather sweet with some dark fruits and licorice present in the flavor. Just a tad bit of citrus can be detected. A somewhat syrupy mouthfeel on this one. Sweet and warming finish. Not a bad beer.

Bottle [Big thanks to Jeppe for sharing] large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good lacing. Mahogany color. Rye bread, caramel, burned notes with some grapefruit, pine and elderflower. Full bodied with a light alcoholic texture. Flavor was moderated bitter with excellent balanced sweet malty notes. Light dry and bitter finish that lingers and turns into a slight liquorish feel.

Yuck, that’s mostly what I remember. Bought a single 12 oz. of this when I was out in Boulder. Tastes of maple, molasses, hops. But, it seemed a bit off, not very balanced, and too hot for me to enjoy for me. A quite unique beer, but not one I liked.

Poured a dark mahogany with some lighter highlites and an off-white head. Rich aroma of wheat bread, red wine, biscuit dough, a bit of molasses. Taste is strong and sweet with powerful notes of brown sugar, molasses, and maple syrup, slowly giving way to some earthy and grassy hops and a prevailing dryness in the finish. A bit of a metallic flavor clings to the back of the palate. Strong, assertive, somewhat unrefined, perhaps even more so than other of the brewer’s offerings. Have no idea what’s up with the eyeball gimmick.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear garnet color. Head was thick and light tan with good retention and lacing. Rich malty molasses aroma with a hint of soy sauce. Slick, oily mouth feel with a touch of sweetness. Roasty malt flavor up front gave way to brown sugar, resiny hop, and subdued bourbon notes. Finished with ample hop bitterness and a smouldering warmth in the stomach.
