Jul 16, 2007 Traded for a 22-oz bottle in the ABA ’07 Annual Meeting beer bottle swap. Pours a brownish amber brew with a thick and lumpy reddish tan head that slowly dissolves and leaves behind a nice lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with fruity scents of oranges, molasses, brown sugar and some spicy floral hops. Taste is a little above average in carbonation, a hint of tartness, medium bodied with flavors of roasted malt, light citrus, and some roasted nuts. Finish is slightly metalic with a roasted ripe berry and mild bitter aftertaste. Just received word that this brew had retired a few months ago.

May 2, 2007 Pours a dark copper mahogany with a frothy light tan head. Aroma of slightly toasty caramel malts with a lot of tart vinegar and sauerkraut notes. Body is fizzy and thin with a slightly sweet caramel flavor and earthy acidic tartness. This brewery has some terrible infection issues and I hope they either correct them or stop brewing.

May 2, 2007 Poured a hazy dark amber with a few small chunks. The head was thin and off-head. The aroma was fruity and malty with moderate notes of of pickles. The flavor was pretty tart and dry but not that bad. It smelled much worse.
