May 8, 2005 Bottle acquired in trade with Ernest (thanks!). Poured a dark, hazy brown color with a large tan head. When I popped the cork, some foam kept coming out (l wouldn’t categorize it as a gusher though). Aromas of brown sugar, bread, with rye lurking in the background. Tastes of nuts, toffee, brown sugar and bread. Lightly sweet.

May 8, 2005 Poured a hazy brown color with a large, off white, head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, and a doughy, dry rye as well. Taste of nuts, caramel, and toasted dough.

Apr 15, 2005 750 ml bottle. This was a pain in the ass to open, with two cages. Upon opening, a loud pop and a gush let me know why it took so much to keep this stuff in place. Wildy carbonated, when it settles you see some amber color and a dense, thick head. Aroma is mostly roasted grains and nuts. The taste is dried fruits, sweet caramel and toffee and butterscotch. Silky smooth mouthfeel.

Apr 12, 2005 Thick Red/Orange Coloring with Huge Frothy Head. Rye Aroma. Good Hit of Rye Right off the Bat, Followed by a Spicy/Peppery Crest Ending Dry with a Rye Aftertaste. Pretty Solid Brew.

Apr 7, 2005 Murky mud-like color with a large head. Bread and rye in the aroma, but not a real standout knock of either. Tame flavor of both with some wood at the end. Earthy. Not a bad brew at all.

Mar 18, 2005 Big head, good retention. Dark, glowing brown. Dry rye aroma. Big bitterness and rye taste up front, fades to a dryer bitterness and some sweetness. Long finish. Medium body. Very strange beer, not sure I like it much.

Feb 26, 2005 Updated: Nov 17, 2005Pours a cloudy brown/orange with a tiny bubble head. Aroma of malt and raisins. Has a smokey malt flavor with a sweet raisin aftertaste. NIce heavy body lets the flavor linger in your mouth. Not what I expected in a bad way. Has the body of an expensive beer but something is missing. Will not splerge on this one again.
