Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. First of their "Big Mo" series I’ve tried. Nothing overwhelming here, but some pleasant warming awesomeness comes along with it. The rye does add a little spice kick to the sweetness.

Oct 28, 2008 Bottled Cloudy mahogany colour, rich airy head. Above medium bodied with soft well-rounded malt character. Mid sweet with distinct rye bread flavour. Rather low bitterness. A solid, warming beer with good balance.

Oct 18, 2008 0.75 l bottle. Dark amber color. The aroma has strong grainy rye scent with toffee, nuts and cocoa. Sweetish malty, toffeish, nutty, grainy and peppery flavor. Full bodied, a bit too carbonated. Softer and better with the yeast sediment. Nice to taste a beer with firm rye aroma and flavor.

Oct 18, 2008 75 cl bottle, thanks Bananamaniac for sharing this!
Pours a redbrown color with a large foamy head. Brilliant.
Aroma is malty, notes of toffee, dried fruits (plums). Really nice actually.
Flavour is quite sweet, malty, notes of dried fruits ending with a decent bitterness. Good!
Mouthfeel is very nice, very filling and smooth... I really love it.
Overall a very, very nice bock from Left Hand!

Cloudy amber to dark amber color; medium head. The aroma is a bit grainy, malty, woody. Grainy caramel flavor, light residual sweetness, a bit nutty, maybe too yeasty. Reasonably strong bitterness. Confused.

Cloudy brown color. Good caramel beer, with cereal touch: simplistic aroma, but with a touch of vanilla and hops; semi-sweet flavor, with grainy malt too, correct bitterness and some alcohol. Quite good.

Oct 12, 2008 Updated: Jun 14, 200975 cL bottle. Pours dark brown and hazy with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is a mix of caramel, hops and rye malt. Smooth flavoured with hops and a light caramel sweetness and to a nice rye flavoured base body. Easy breadish finish with a light uplifting fruity accent from the hops.7-3-8-3-16=3.7
From bottle, blind #8. Pours cloudy dark brown with a small white head. Cornish, grainy and slight spiced aroma. Mild spiced, honey herbal yet also rather dry flavoured. Bitter and slight spiced finish. Roasted, bitter and slight spiced finish, again lasting dry impression into the far finish.7-3-7-3-15=3.5

Sep 26, 2008 On tap at Taco Mac located in Kennesaw, GA on Chastain Road (Chastaino Mac).
Appearance: Clear, dark chestnut brown body with a small, white head.
Smell: Aroma of toasty caramel, chocolate, cherries, and golden raisins.
Taste: Rich medley of chocolate, burnt caramel, and fruit flavors upfront with a medium amount of sweetness. The fruitiness subsides, allowing a touch of alcohol to take its place. Hint of Slight encroaching spiciness from the rye grains and hops. Warming, long finish with all of the flavors simply not wanting to let go and say "goodbye".
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I’d had one of the original bottles back in the day and, well, didn’t like it one bit. This, however, is much better.

Sep 20, 2008 Honey and malt aroma, slightly tannic, slightly floral. Misty, tea-colored with a thin ringing head. Clear, sweet, lightly bitter, a graham cracker maltiness. Medium body, bitter and twangy on the front of the tongue. Medium -long bitter finish. Good and interesting.
