Jun 17, 2005 (12oz bottle) Quickly dissipating small beige head atop a clear dark copper body. Aroma is sweet, plum, caramel. Taste is quite sweet, plum, caramel, light tobacco in the finish. Full body with minimal carbonation. Definitely a sipping beer.

Apr 18, 2007 Pours a transparent copper amber with a spotty-lacing frothy tan head. Aroma of toasty caramely malt with a hint of tart oranges and grain. Body starts with a fairly full, viscous, earthy maltiness and a smooth, slightly dark fruity finish. Fairly true to style, but not that interesting.

Nov 23, 2006 12oz bottle shared courtesy of Josh. Poured a dark brown color with a smaller sized off white head. ARomas of roast, spices, chocolate and caramel. Flavors follow the same. Light alcohol in the finish (but I wouldn’t have guessed 9%).

May 16, 2005 Bottle... Medium dark, clear, ruby ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Buttery, slightly acetic nose. Flavor is malty, but eventually ends up just slightly on the bitter side. Full-bodied and very creamy with medium carbonation. Lengthy, acetic, lightly bitter finish. It was a long beer day for me. Couldn’t bring myself to finish it before crashing.
