Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jan 28, 2007 From the 12 oz bottle, poured a deep, opaque river-bottom muddiness and a frothy whipped head. With a deep sugary nose, the full-bodied flavors don’t exactly sneak up on your palate. Sweet and sugary with a toffee-fullness. Pleasantly bittered, but with a sweet almost black grape essence at the very end. Makes me crave some smoked almonds. (#2667, 1/28/07) PullMeABeer (203), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jan 26, 2007 Bottle. Pours a lavishly clear and dark reddish brown/brick hue. A creamy light tan head sits atop and clings to the glass as it descends. Aroma is subtly fruity and sweet with a sour alcohol note. Slight metallic aroma (import) like a grip of old coins. Muddy toffee notes open to the nose as the ale warms. An old earthy dustiness rounds out this beer. The flavor is bighty on the palate. Hints of vanilla and caramel dominate the middle. Finishes somewhat bitter, and mildly alcoholic, with lingering pleasant sour pear and grape nuts. Light/medium moutfeel. "Uncle B’s, A little rusty and dusty." sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 23, 2007 Bottle: Brown, reddish colored pour with an off white head. Aroma, yeast, grassy hops, some sweet malts. Flavor, grassy and earthy hops, with some caramel in there as well. Eh... faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Jan 21, 2007 Dark brown with a rather short head. Aroma is malty, caramellic and fruity. Flavour is malty and fruity with a nice bitter finish. framebender (56), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jan 20, 2007 Pours deep mahogany color with malty aroma and thin head. I don’t really like this style very much, but it was good. Nothing really wrong with beer but style is a bit plain and there isn’t anything very memorable in the flavor. Fine beer but nothing I can imagine myself craving. mstockton (186), Rochester, Michigan, USA Jan 20, 2007 A nice darker colored beer. Nutty and a bit like a nut-brown ale. Seemed to have some alcohol flavor with some kick. GOod brew...I would recommend. McWorta (39), Luxembourg Jan 13, 2007 Aye what a nice surprise for a mid weekend pint, with an aroma being roasty/toasty even earthy with elements of butterscotch. The appearance is not so spectecular but still a nice red/brown, cloudy/frothy colour. It is lightly bitter, with a medium sweetness to it which marks the earthyness, strong heavy ale flavour. The palate shows a totally full body, lightly creamy with a lively fizziness to it and a long finish! richard (3), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA does not count Jan 12, 2007 Pours very brown, small beige head, fruity and seltzer(y)/carbonation. Semi burnt after taste.
