Thanks to SoLan! An orangish/ruby body, craggy yellow-tan head. Nose is pie cherry funk, light citrus, toasty malt. Flavor is lighter cherry pie, medium toasty malt, light wheat, some caramel. Finish is too thin, empty.

A dark brown appearance with a large head. This one was bent a little more sour than most dubbles Ive had. The main flavor going on here is chocolate followed by some raisins and nutmeg. There is some citrus detectable in the aftertaste. It looks like I enjoyed this more than most.

Crystal clear rye hue. Spongy off tan foam turns extremely rocky. Musty sweet tart aroma accompanied by sour cherry, vinous edges, cotton, urine, light perfume, caramel, plum, soft spice flares, bubblegum, and soil. Fluffy carbonation. Juicy on the palate. Mild acidic snap quickly leads to red apple textures, leather and prune. Bubblegum notes linger with a light hop leaf edge. Unattractive aroma, over carbonated, and an unpleasant sourness, which probably was unintentional.

Bottle sampled withStegosaurus. Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and spices. The flavor is fruit, spices, and citrus. Good beer.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2005 Small, frothy, dust-colored head with thick, heavy lace and a hazy, red-mahogany body. Spicy, yeasty bouquet with a prominent note of mustard seed, black pepper, milk chocolate, toffee, and paint thinner. Flavor is milky, malty, and very spicy with medium sweetness and moderate bitterness in the finish. Foamy, heavily carbonated mouthfeel. Different, but not really in a good or bad way. The bottom-line is that this is not a beer that I’d buy again.
