650 ml bottle. Brown pour with a light tan head. Aromas of orange peel and roasted malt. Light and fruity (melons and oranges). Pleasant and easy to drink.

A bit off. Tastes like a delicious cigar and brown sugar. The pour is a dark, murky and opaque brown with a thick three finger head of beige foam. The nose is sweet and malty with a big corainder spiced note. The taste is sweet and malty with a big roast, notes of light chocolate, coffee and a big spiced flavor. the finish has an overpowering tobacco and light alcohol presence. Overall, a pretty good beer.

Bottle. Very dark brown color, thick beige head with good retention, solid lacing. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread. Taste is moderately spiced brownies and gingerbread. Interesting flavor combination.

22oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours deep brown with a thick, lacy, beige head. Aroma of spicy yeast, some caramel and light chocolate malts, and some floral hops. Flavor the same, pretty sweet. Average texture. Not a bad beer.

The smell on this one reminds me of wet clothes. You know the smell after they have been sitting for awhile. Maybe if this was paired with food I could enjoy it, but just out of the bottle I am not really a fan. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amazing smell, probably as good as an aroma can get. Overall not as good as a my nose judged this "cover".

drowland (3875) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JAN 15, 2012
1/15/12. 22oz bomber. Cloudy brown pour with a small tan head that fades. Rich aroma of caramel, nuts, butterscotch, and seltzer. Slightly tart and slightly salty flavor that shows caramel, butterscotch, nuttiness, and a bit of ash. Interesting.

jhamp9 (352) - Corinth, Texas, USA - DEC 25, 2011
Poured a hazy dark brown almost black with a thin creamy head. Aroma was hops and heavy soy sauce. Taste was about the same with fish added in. I don’t know if this was a bad bottle but I couldn’t make it through a glass.

Lightly hazy brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, caramel malts, some vanilla, raisins, and burnt toast. Taste of maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel, light toasted notes, and a semi-sweet finish
