On draft at Carlsbad Pizza Port 02/01/08. Virtually no head, dark amber in color. Not much aroma, some malty, toasted bread scent. Flavor is heavy on the malt with a bit of smoked peat taste. Overall largely sweet in character and surprisingly easy to drink at almost 9.5%.

Mar 8, 2008 On tap at Port Solana, shared with WeeHeavySD. Dark reddish-brown with a slight tan head that fades quickly. Sweet malt aroma. The taste is also sweet, of malt and a bit of yeast, hops, and dark fruit coming through. Lingering toastyness. Quite tasty.

Mar 8, 2008 Sample on tap@Port Solana: Deep dark root beer color with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor starts rich and caramel sweet followed by toffee and a hint of smoke with a mild bitterness in the finish. Medium body is creamy with soft carbonation. Almost too easy to drink for a strong ale.

Feb 25, 2008 Listed on the board as brewed by PP Solana Beach but served at Carlsbad for my pint. Poured a clear deep copper color with red highlights and an off-white head. Semi-sweet aroma with some notes of dark fruit. The flavor was big with notes of plums and raisins. Mildly sweet and very warming. Medium bodied and quite tasty.
