Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep murky brown with thin orangish-beige head. Nose has caramel, toasted grain and dark fruit aroma. Flavor is woody, with some burnt notes, roasted grain, very mild tartness and very minor stale/musty notes in background. Light lingering herbal bitterness in finish. Soft, nearly flat palate, with some touches of hop resin. At first I thought is was strange, but it has a consistency and strong hop/malt flavors that grew on me.

Mar 4, 2008 (bottle) Pours amber with a light tan head. Aroma smells of port wine and yeast, really not much else. I really didn’t care for the taste, as there was light grape (similar to concentrated grape juice) toffee, and an odd finish that was predominately yeast. Medium mouthfeel.

Feb 29, 2008 Pour is a hazy brown with a very large tan head. Aroma is nice with some strong caramel with a dark fruit and candi sugar combo. Flavor is also in the decent category. Some molasses show up again along with the candi sugar. One distraction is the alcohol is there in a big way. Still an above average beer.

Feb 28, 2008 It’s a dark red brown beer with a creamy large thick beige head. It slowly dissapears. It has a malty, fruit and a little spicy aroma. A malty tast, with some notes of fruit, like blackberries. It’s a little sweet. A nice beer to drink with friends.

Feb 26, 2008 Bottle at the second Doubletree tasting, provided by Zinister. Thanks! Pours a deep, tree sap amber with nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is doo doo mixed with Houston Municipal Sewer Water, vegetable (particularly celery), and earth. Flavor is raisin, pear, and sugar that provides a lingering sweetness. Average mouthfeel. Much better as it warms.

Feb 19, 2008 Mar. 2007 - Dark amber pour, little head or lacing. Weird butterscotch "off" flavor. Flavor was dark fruits but the odd butterscotchy off flavor was distracting and unpleasant.

Feb 17, 2008 A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Quaffs, thanks to Reakt.
Semi hazy very dark brown with a pretty impressive beige head. Rich chocolate malt aroma with some dried fruit and a nice earthy character. More chocolate stuff in the flavour with a nice warmth from the alcohol. Burnt malt followed with some very slight hoppage that balances it out pretty nicely. Lingering tang at the sides of the palate gives it a slight vegetal note but not in a bad way. Not brimming with complexity but an enjoyable and intersting brew.

Feb 5, 2008 Dark red-amber beer with a creamy beige head. Neutral aroma. Nice flavours: caramel, coffee, burned malts and a hardly noticable sweetness at the end with some nice hopps as well.
