Aroma is not good, there is a hint of roasted malt but this is overshadowed by an odd molding grass thing. Color is a deep, dark amber with low carbonation and a tight off white head. Taste is like roasted pine needles. Starting with a medium body it goes down smooth with a slightly flat feel. Finish comes in with a roasted flavor that has a pine like taste that stays all the way though with a sour twang biting at the sides of your tong. I did not like this beer, I don’t like pine flavors and its just odd and a bit flat.

May 15, 2008 Deep mahogany hue with a decent tan head. Nutty-sweet nose. Nice body yet fairly easy to drink. Surprisingly nice malt flavors/aromas, such as dark chocolate, tobacco, toffee and wood. Hops were earthy and grassy, with a healthy amount of bitterness to balance things out. This is definitely one of the finer TBC beers I’ve had. Quite a bit of personality for a a typically boring style.
