Feb 17, 2008 I smelt a caramel / birchy aroma. The aroma was faint, though. After a pour, the beer had very little head and after 1/2 minute left barely any bubbles on top. The beer had a deep caramel hue, almost opaque through the glass. The flavor was by far its strongest point. Again, caramels and molasses hit the tongue but were gone quickly. Not too much of an aftertaste, yet not crisp, necessarily. Could fit into the daily category, but it won’t be a special occasion brew for me.

Feb 6, 2008 [WBA Styles Tasting] Deep copper/brown color. Very malt-dominated aroma, with a very subtle smokiness. No real hop aroma to speak of. Chocolate, roasted malt and sweet caramel in the flavors. Just a hint of acidity and sour character towards the finish. Very warming.

Jan 25, 2008 Dark pour with deep brown color. Tan cream head, smells of roasted caramel and a sweet chocolate fruity aroma. Fills the pallet with a malted flavor, the smells transfer to the taste, sweet and subtle. Great smooth finish which keeps the high alc. content in check.

Jan 21, 2008 Pours very dark brown with a a little light mocha head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate, so delicious. Taste is a rich malty caramel flavor with a slight fruity finish. Alcohol is very well hidden in thi one. This is a fantastic beer.

Jan 18, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours out a cloudy dark brown color. A nice thick one finger head with a very rich malty aroma. It has a good chocolate malt flavor with a touch of vanilla that becomes more intense as it warms up. Nice creamy texture that lies well on the pallet. Alcohol taste is present and borders on almost too much, but is OK. Not a ton of complexity but very enjoyable. I will defiantly make this a part of my beer rotation.

Jan 17, 2008 Bottle sent to me by CaptainCougar, thanks Tom. Pours hazy dark brown with a medium sized tan colored head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, light peat-like. Flavor is rich caramel, earthy, chocolate, peat, hint of spiciness to it. Palate is medium towards full bodied, medium carbonation, finishes sweet. I rather enjoyed this one, cant believe I’ve never tried this before.
