Oct 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark reddish/black with a decent off-white head. Some lacing. Aroma is fruity, dark cherries, espresso and chocolate. Flavor is earthy and full of raisins and dark chocolate. Palate is light-medium bodied, fizzy on the front, with a dryish finish. Becomes progressivly smoother as the beer warms. Overall this is a HIGHLY drinkable, tasty ale. One of the better low(er)-ABV beers available.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to a friend bringing them back to me from Colorado. Pours a black color with a small head. Flavor is caramel, very woody, and malty. Not very hoppy, and not a lot of hop bitterness. Overall this beer is very drinkable and quite tasty!

Sep 28, 2008 Bomber, pours a cola colored body with a fair sized fuzzy tan head. The aroma was more impressive than the flavor, but very good overall. Smells of chocolate, some roastiness, nice malts, slightly fruity. Caramel slightly roast malt flavor with some fruitiness. Med-mouthfeel, fairly lush and smooth.
