Sep 30, 2007 Deep dark brown coloured body with a large tan head. Aroma of nuts, malt and very little else. Medium-bodied; Strong pungent raisins and nutmeg in the taste with malt and yeast rounding out the flavours. Aftertaste shows a bit more promise than most browns - this has some sugars and isn’t overly nutty. Overall, a better-than-average brown that should be sampled by those who don’t like nuts in their browns. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 29-September-2007.

Sep 13, 2007 Smells very malty. Pours a darkish brown with a very fizzy head. Taste is incredibly weak and watery with just a hint of beer. Tastes like beer-flavored water.

Jul 21, 2007 Picked up a bomber; I hadn’t heard of this before. Looks like dark tea or flat cola; the head didn’t last. Thinnish body, moderate fizz. Malty, not hoppy, with some molasses or something. Finishes dry at the back of the roof of the mouth. Not bad. I’d drink this again.

May 15, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours a nearly clear amber brown with a moderate off-white head that faded to a thin ring fairly quickly. Very light aroma of malt and fresh cut grass. Flavor is extremely light with some caramel and brown sugar noted. I did not detect any influence from the hops. Thin, watery body. I just picked up several Rock Art beers to sample and I hope this is not typical of their lineup.

Apr 22, 2007 Light roasted malt aroma. Amber color a little on the light side. Small tan head. Sweet malty start with a tangyness to the finish.
