Bottle, Pours dark brown with light carbonation and head. It’s very strong, alcoholic, burns your mouth. Tastes of cherry, sour dark fruits, sweet malt finish. Not my favorite beer.

Admittedly not my type of brew. This stuff just turns me off like others in ABT group....I know I can hear some of you..."NOOB", well I would love to like it but I don’t.....yet. Tried again with the wife, still don’t like it...she of course LOVES it and the ratings now reflect her opinion....

Bottle. Pours hazy dark red with a small, short lived head. Nose is very fruity, sweet malt and alcohol. Full body with sweet malt, brown sugar, yeast and cherry flavor in the beginning with floral hops pleasantly kick in the finish. Wonderful beer.

Bottle Pizzeria Uno - Poured a caramel brown. Instant smell of fruit and malt. Somewhat strong, yet smooth. Actually reminded me of Palo Santo. Good beer, definitely not a session beer though.

Very malty smell when you pop the cork. Heh, corks on all these "beers", its really kind of funny. Color is dark caramel. Head is 2 inches and thick tan, and holds well. Caramel, malt, alcohol, and dark berry fruit aroma, like strawberry. Smooth beginning, rough middle, and smooth finish. Flavors are dark plum, cherry, chocolate, cinnamon, mineral, and toffee. A little bittering hops are present. The beer is very, very dry.

Bottle. Pours reddish brown coloured with a small light brown head. Nose is caramel, chewing gum, blackberries, chocolate and dried fruit. Dry flavour with notes of licorice, berries and some molasses sugar. Great!

Just a great tasting beer. Very easy to drink and at 9.8% alc you’re left with a smile on your face after your first 25oz bottle. If you try it you’ll like it.
