austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 One of Otto’s best. On tap at brewpub. Really strong beer with lots of flavor. Rich, sweet. Very sweet. Thick. Delicious. Try this one. toddbates (95), USA Jan 27, 2008 Draft at otto’s. deep amber color with a light tan head that dissipates quickly after the pour. light malt and caramel with a little spice and a decent amount of hop definitely smelled of alcohol with a malty backnote. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Jan 12, 2008 Draft glass at KClinger’s. Burnt amber with virtually no head. The aroma is of cooked brown sugar. Light up front, this predominately comes across wtih a cooked vegetable alcoholyness. Not a lot of body here and the alcohol takes on a bit of a funk as it warms. (#3280, 1/9/2008) DocLock (4102), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 26, 2007 Draft at Otto’s. Deep coppery color with off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, brown sugar, figs, some spices and hops. Tastes dark malty, with brown sugary notes, some nuts, figs, blackberries, and a rich, smooth finish. The blackberry notes don’t overtake the malt, which remains throughout in full force. Another well done brew from one of my favorite brewers of all time. dpjuart (555), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2007 Growler courtesy of Nate. Pours dark amber, small, off white head that lingers. Nose of malt, very little from growler. Hops start with big malt middle, carmel and toffee, touch of biscuit, then a rather surprising hop finish that lingers with a nice aftertaste. Not bad, I’d have it again, but a little below my expections from Otto’s. Not much, but a little.
