May 7, 2008 Muddied, almost opaque root beer body topped by a nice light tan head. Aroma is a bit thin, light roasted malt, hints of cocoa. The flavor is too vegetal for my taste. Cut back on the beans... Very thin almost insipid body. The vegetable astringency develops even more as the beer warms, further detracting from an already disappointing brew.

May 7, 2008 22oz bottle, thanks to Drewbeerme for this. Hazy, dark brown with off-white head. Nose is of dry dark roasted malt with subtle pine hops. Flavor is dark malt with dark fruit, medium sweet. Medium bodied and creamy. Nt bad.

May 6, 2008 There are some nice qualities with this one, but the body is a bit thin so it leaves the good chocolate and brown sugar flavor falling short. The color is a nice blackened ruby, though.

May 6, 2008 Bottled, thanks for sharing, iowaherkeye. We had this next to an infected old bottle of Perkunos Hammer. The Perkunos was great when it was fresh as I was lucky enough to have it a few times. This one had a black body with a yellowish khaki head. The aroma was milk chocolate and sweat. There was also some bread crust. The taste was strong milk chocolate with some caramel and tobacco notes. Decent.

May 5, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large dark tan head. The aroma was a nice mix of sweet chocolate, vanilla and caramel. The flavor was a rich and complex mix of sweet malty chocolate, vanilla and licorice with a lightly bitter roasty middle and a long sweet chocolate & licorice finish. The mouthfeel was amazingly silky and smooth for not being overly thick. Remarkable.

May 5, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with small tan head. Aromaas of coffe and chocolate upfront. Notes of coffee, toffee, and some dark fruit. little thin and watery in the mouthfeel. Decent brew though.
stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
May 4, 2008 Bottle sampled. Pours dark with a small beige head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, and dark fruit. The flavor is roasted, chocolate, well blended alcohol, dark fruit, and finishes with a good hop character.
