Bottle, cracked kettle, thanks Abio. Pours a color in the twilight zone of dark golden and brown. Say real dark copper something. Nose is sour cherry and cola/caramel. Some sourness, and too saturated to be pleasant. Had a hard time finishing this.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 BlackEyePA (222) - USA - FEB 6, 2011
Pretty good. I like the color, dark creamy brown. Not much lacing and head fell fast. The aroma was tough to get much of, but nice, fig and dark fruit. The taste was raisin, plum, brown sugar, dark fruit, malt and port. Palate and mouthfeel are superbly considered. Overall nice strong brune beer
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 4, 2011
Pours murky brown with a huge head.
Nose shows musty chocolate, raisins and golden syrup. A bit rough.
Same story with the flavours; chocolate, golden syrup, not all that complex Very high carbonation, pretty ridiculous.
Not all that impressive really.

Bottle. Dark brown, average and mostly lasting light brown head. Medium, malty and sweetish aroma, very fruity with some hoppyness and sourness, light spiciness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, fruity with some spiciness and light alcohol. Finish is average, malty with some fruity sweetness, light alcohol and spiciness - licorice. Nice hoppy and fruity aroma, but flavor is not in balance with aroma.

Bottle. Pours a thick orange/brown hazy liquid with a thick foamy yellowish beige head, some sediment at the bottom of the glass. Aroma: great fruitiness with some spices, not very yeasty. Taste: fruit, dried fruit, malt, citrus, some yeast, brown sugar, still not too sweet. Thick, medium fizzy mouthfeel. Really good, well balanced and very drinkable, the 9% ABV is hardly noticeable.
