May 21, 2008 750 ml bottle - Pours a hazy brown color with a large off white head. Aroma is toasted malt. Flavor is toasted malt and light esters. Medium body. A decent beer but one I will probably not buy again.

May 20, 2008 22oz bomber. Malty aroma with mild spicy & earthy notes. Taste is earthy and spicy rye and/or hops, fruits (cherry, plums), with a spicy and malty finish. Copper colored, excellent clarity. Not a good purchase however at $12 a bomber.

May 13, 2008 750 mL bottle from Westpark in Richmond. Pours red with a huge frothy head. Decent lacing. Fruity, grainy aroma. Rye comes through nicely on the taste. Texture is heavy and syrupy.

May 11, 2008 Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours an over fizzing hazy brownish copperish orange with weak tan like head. The aroma is nearly mild with sweet date, prune and plum fruitiness, biscuit malts, melanoidin malt, some earthiness, mustiness and light alcohol notes. The taste comes off as a bit thin ushering in fruity esters of plums and dates along with some rich mildly roasty malts and vague, pine maybe, hop bitterness. I get just a faint rye twang in there too. The overall experience doesn’t really come together for me here.

Apr 30, 2008 Thanks to maniac for supplying this beer on my way towards 800! A very nice light mahogony body with a thin ivory head. Heavily malted aroma with some light fruit accents. Very nice taste with heavy malts, light caramel, dark fruit accents such as plum. Ending is nice.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle. This bottle was a gusher. Pours a clear amber with a large off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of spicy rye, a hint of caramel, and spicy yeast. Taste is tangy rye, yeast and caramel. Medium thin mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Decent.
Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA
Apr 15, 2008 Caged/corked. Pours with a ruggedly reddish brown color and just a fizzle of head. The aroma is mildly medicinal, but quite restrained. Interesting drink here ... a broad blend of stuff going on here, from a easy going roast, a teaser of dark fruit, and a kiss of chocolate in the finish. Very tasty brew and exceptionally well assembled at 7.7%! (#3422, 4/15/2008)
