Apr 3, 2008 Pours a dirty, dark brown with some moderate sediment and a large, loose, frothy, beige head. The aroma is of an empty tin can over dusty, nutty malt. I have never smelled a beer that comes across even remotely as metallic as this does. Medium to full-bodied, soft, oily, and unfortunately tongue-coating, with a metallic and strongly vegetal finish. The first taste is bracingly metallic, bitter and vegetal but settles down a tad after a couple sips. Unfortunately, it still remains a train wreck of the same notes along with a sour vegetal note than lingers on the tongue. This bottle may be infected, but this was released just a few months back and purchase less than 50 miles from the brewery. (It’s just outside of KC.) Coming from a local brewery, I really wanted to like this beer, but it is just a complete mess. I have to believe this is better at the brewery, and if they have it on tap, I’ll give it a re-rate, but I will never, never touch another bottle of this stuff.

Mar 27, 2008 Updated: Jul 14, 2008Overcarbonated but at least no sourness in a more recent bottle. Bottle. Ruddy brown body with amber hints at the edges. The head is large and light brown khaki. The aroma has some walnuts with toffee and marischino cherries. The body is highly carbonated. The taste is light tobacco with some weird grapefruit notes. I almost wonder if a bit of sourness isn’t creeping in from poor cellaring by Lukas Liquors? Anyway, I can get past that, it’s fairly dry overall with some leathery hints. Like Weston’s other beers, it’s drinkable, but far from exciting.

Dec 28, 2007 Wow, I’m the first to rate this beer. Yay me! Let’s see...dark brown color...head dissipates fairly quick. Moderate nose of earth, roasted malt and a little hoppiness. Moderately sweet-leans more that way than to bitter. A touch of resiny hops. Nothing to fall in love with but OK for a local beer. Top that review losers! :)
