Oct 25, 2008 (Bottle, courtesy of Swalden_28) Pours a brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, molasses, and maple. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and a quite displeasing buttery taste (DMS).

Oct 25, 2005 Headless clear dark cola pour. DMS touched nose goes straight toward the roasted chocolate and grainy notes, not bothering to find any nuances on the way. Painfully faulted in many regards, it strikes first as a popcorn DMS induces flavour that grows into cardboard as the finish approaches. Palate is thin, extremely watery, flat and oily.Yuck..

Oct 3, 2005 Dark brown or even purple hues with light at the edges of the glass. Has a bad sour hay and mold aroma, with a bland, flavorless moldy harshness. Bad in so many ways.

Jul 20, 2009 Murky dark brown with a diminished light tan head. Roasted malt, bit of mineral and some grains. Quite thick and nearly chewy in feel. Dry from the start with roasted and dark toasted malt flavors. Not real deep, but for me this is a working mans brew. Full bodied, with hearty malt and a stick to your ribs quality. I could see myself imbibing this during simple projects about the house.

Dec 15, 2008 Dark brown body with some pretty garnet at the edges when held to light. The quick fading head was a light tan leather color. The sweet aroma was like molasses and tobacco. There was also some cocoa in the nose. The taste was good for just an instant when first put into my mouth. It had light cocoa and coffee. However, this then quickly turned to a souring feta cheese type funk that threw off the package. Strange to taste good for an instant, then become harsh. The light carbonation was good, but not enough to save the beer.
