Apr 4, 2009 Chestnut colored, redder at the bottom, with a small, whispy head that is mostly diminishing. Nose is grainy - husky wheat - with bittersweet cocoa, earth, and mild roast. Moderately sweet flavor up front - brown sugar and rye - turning somewhat grainier though some molasses and berry (almost like a sugared cranberry) pops in and out through the flavor profile. In further sips, the earthy, dirty hops are more noticeable. Chewey grain, slightly sour finish. Interesting.

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!

Dec 2, 2007 Red brown body with a creamy beige head; Quite big strangely composed biscuit like nose; Soft texture on fruity sweet body, slightly cloying; Medium long earthy chocolate thick finish, cocoa bean aroma, to sweet and a little to cloying. VERY strange!

Nov 17, 2007 Sample from bottle at West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago with rep. Dark brown with ruby color, medium brown head. Fruity dark malt, some hop spice. Grainy fruity malt, red apple, not bad, subtle hop bitterness. Medium to full body, good carb. Okay. Once again, I rated this higher than I actually liked it.

May 9, 2000 Updated: Mar 29, 2005Re-Rate, on tap at the brewery: Beer pours dark brown mahogeny color with a well retained beige colored head. Aroma is pretty strong sweet malt with lots of roastiness and a bit of chocolate. Flavor is quite roasty. Finish is a touch dry with a hint of hops. Nice beer.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown, ruby around the edges, and a beige head. Nice chocolate aroma with roasted / toasted caramel malts. Flavor is the same, somewhat like a vienna, but sweeter and fuller, slightly smoked, with sweet chocolate in the finish. Wet / sticky mouthfeel, but I like it.
