Tap at PP Carlsbas. Pours muddy brown with ruby highlights. No head on this one. Smell is dark fruit, raisins, yeast, chocolate and vanilla. Taste is raisin, banana, dark chocolate, yeast, plum and molasses. Light carbonation but plays well with the style. Good beer.

Jul 5, 2008 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Poured a burnt amber color with a thin formation of fluffy heading. Nose detected a minimum of caramel malt and an unknown smell of spicy yeast. The palate is a extremely smooth and almost shows no signs of carbonation. The flavor is a little out of balance though and shows more malty sweetness then the minor spices and yeast present. Wouldn’t recommend this be bottled and sold.

May 17, 2008 On tap at Port Carlsbad, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing it. Dark brownish-red with a white ring, no real head. Aroma is full of malt and yeast, with a lot of sweet raisin notes. Taste is very meaty and sweet. Not bad, but nothing I’d seek out either.

May 17, 2008 Draft @ PP Carlsbad Pours dark amber with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet and raisin infused. Taset is sweet robust and light, at first I thought it was ok, but I didn’t finish my class.

Apr 3, 2008 This one was not for me. Way too sweet from the start with some lactic flavor I just can’t stand. I’m very hit or miss on dubbel and this was a definite miss.
