TheRimmer (483) - Florida, USA - FEB 18, 2007
Copper aroma with hints of yeast, possibly baker’s chocolate. Mainly it smelled of spare change. Nice red color. Fizzy head. Light, weak body. Watery. More metallic and kind of yeasty tastes that finish the same. 11 bucks for a 750ml. Hello middle finger.

doublebock (331) - California, USA - JAN 26, 2007
Rich amber hue, lively carbonation, bready scent. Candy like taste, maltiness but can barely taste the alcohol

detroiter (958) - Euphoria, Minnesota, USA - JAN 14, 2007
Clear brown beer with half an inch of tan foam. Decent head retention and okay lacing. Mild malty and fruity aroma. A taste of caramel malt and fruity yeast. Body just shy of medium, lightly carbonated. Decent beer but a bit on the weak side. Nothing (except the stoneware bottle) to get excited about.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - DEC 29, 2006
Poors a very murky brown color with absotlutely no head at all. It popped out some large bubbles, but it looked like whisky or brandy being poured. Slightly buttery aroma. Incredibley thin malt taste. If I were to compare the taste to a smell, it’d be like trying to smell the grain room at Northern Brewer from outside the building on Grand. Maybe you catch a whiff here or there, but not really. My new goal is to brew a beer worthy of being in that bottle.

Numenor (871) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - NOV 30, 2006
Brown body with little head. Slightly sweet aroma, malts dominate. Sweet but thin body, nothing special.

swirl (267) - collingswood, New Jersey, USA - NOV 29, 2006
the bottle is absolutely awesome. . a heavy solid ceramic cask with a stopper... it carries with it highexpectations that as much attention and creativity has been given to what is inside. Alas, such is not the case.

maniac (3474) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - NOV 29, 2006
Sampled at the Richmond Beer Industry Gathering 2006. Clear dark amber body with a small tan head. Sweet caramel aroma. Strong caramel flavor. The bottle mostly just adds cost to a fairly mediocre beer, but atleast I have a ceramic swingtop to bottle into later.

bb (4577) - Alamo, California, USA - AUG 31, 2006
Bottle. Dark mahogony beer with a huge lt cocoa colored head. Creamy, yeasty, spicey aroma with some licorice. Darker malt flavor with yeasty, spicy flavor. Some background toffee/caramel/chocolate. LIghter bodied. Easy to drink. Not bad, just needs a bit more oomph.
