SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 15, 2009 bomber - pours clear, reddish brown with faint white head; thin, syrupy, stale and malty; fruity, bready aromas; pretty blah flavor wise IMO zizzybalubba (335), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, USA Sep 27, 2009 Bottle shared at Logan’s 2009 pre-GABF Party. Brownish-orange pour. Sweet aroma but lightly hoppy. Dull and somewhat watery taste. In my opinion, this was just not very good, especially given the buildup from the aroma. fakepurseninja (770), Washington, USA Aug 30, 2009 Thick, syrupy malt backbone. Deep grainy body that was ridiculously chewy. Heavy fruit notes with toffee and molasses. Oily and a little vegetative. Messy drink. mj (4971), Colorado, USA Aug 28, 2009 dark/burnt caramel brown. nose: oxidized caramel malt, burnt maple, light notes of acetone, dirt/soil/minerals. chewy, syrupy, over-sweet approach. medium body, turns mildly frothy in the finish with a black pepper and spiced molasses note. finish is resinous and deeply rich, but it’s really the only positive attribute of this beer. not one of their best efforts. Savvy1982 (303), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Aug 21, 2009 Bottle at Liquid Sunshine. Pours red-amber, with a poor head and little lacing. Fruity, sweet, grassy, caramel. It’s a bit boozy, and rather sweet, but interesting nonetheless. scrizzz (1246), kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 11, 2009 sweet caramel thistle aroma, simple, warm with heat, strong roast, leathery tannic finish. JK (2943), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Aug 9, 2009 Thanks to Skyview for sharing this one. This is a very earthy beer, with dirt and vegetable flavor. Quite sweet with malt, no perceivable hops. Very smooth, but thick and heavy also. The alcohol is well hidden. It becomes sweet and the palate smoother as it warms. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA May 19, 2009 Thanks to JMFG for the Pelican goodness. Malt flavors with some chocolate, brown sugar and other sweetness. More and more malts. Good stuff.
