General_Gao (2509), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jul 12, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican. The aroma was of dark fruits supported by minimal toffee. Poured a clear dark orange color with a light tan head. Medium bodied with mild to moderate bitterness. Tasted of dark bitter chocolate, burnt stick, and distinct tobacco. There was also a rubber-ish note, which somehow fit in and did not detract. Pretty good overall.

Typical, but decent. pepsican (727), the beer wastelands of, Iowa, USA Apr 25, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a thin off white head. Blueberry, raisin, butter, and malt in the nose. Flavor is very unique. Strong raisin up front, but some berries carry over along with butter, smoke, tobacco, and caramel. This is oddly different. Finishes neither sweet or bitter. Creamy mouth feel. Huh.
