Jun 30, 2008 12oz bottle pour. Pours dark orange/ruby red with a thin light brown head. Aroma of sweet malt, some fruits, and slight hops. tastes slightly flat with light sweetness up front and moderate bitterness in the second half. This one is pretty bitter. Not much else going on other than the bitterness, but I like it.
Note: My local small town liquor store started carrying this because the owners son raved and raved about it. He even likes it so much he got the hobgoblin tattooed on himself!

Jun 29, 2008 Slightly burnt raisin bread with chocolate sauce. Reddish copper brown color with a hint of red, smallish head that dissipated quickly. Slight clovey sweetness, noticeable hop bitterness to balance. Fizzy carbonation, seemed a little thin, finish was decent, almost a hint of bananas? OK, not bad, but not earth shattering.

Jun 29, 2008 A clear deep reddish brown color with a fairly thick tan head with medium persistence and thick lacing. Fruity nose of plum and raisin with a hint of floral. Taste is fruity (plum, raisin) up front and quickly segues to a bitter hop flavor with just a hint of wood and nuts. Dry bitter hop finish. Pretty good.
