12 oz. bottle. Pour brown dark copper with a nice big kahki head that leaves a solid lacing. Aroma is roasted nuts and malt with a subtle roasted nutty scent. Taste is more roasted malt and nuts along with soil and some subtle hops and spice. Palate is full and carbonated with a sticky chaulky finish. Very nice beer.

Bottle. lear dark brown pour, a little carbonation and a good rich caramelly aroma. Flavor is roasted nuts and malt, sweet caramel a little peppery spice and finished sweet. One of my favorite Summit beers.

Poured a 12oz bottle into Sam Adams sensory glass. Pours a nice creamy, tan head. That leaves a decent amount of lace. Color is a dark ruby red, I was able to see through it just a little bit. The aroma is of a combination of hot chocolate and floral hops. Taste is of tasted chocolate and nuts. The floral hops make their presence known as well. Mouthfeel is very smooth at first, then turns bitter from the hops. Leaves a slight dry feeling in mouth as well. Overall, this was a great beer and at the price, you can’t go wrong. I would suggest you at least give this one a shot. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-27-2008 02:05:11
