Great amber color with a quickly receding head. Scent is on the sweeter side (think dried fruits) while the taste matches and has a bit of alcoholic ester peeking through. Overall a solid offering that punches above its component parts.

Dark cola color, basically clear besides a few little chunks. Smell is mostly English hops with dark malts hiding in the background. Tastes tart and bitter with a backing of fruit.. almost tastes spoiled it is so bitter. Thumbs down

My good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego gave me a bottle of this beer. It poured a dark amber with off white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had very nice dark malt with pumpernickel bread highlights. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with dark bread malt base and subtle molasses highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a modest tan head. Fragrance of malt, toast and some spice. Taste of caramel, toasted bread, a hint of coffee. Mildly hoppy. Medium body and delicious.

Strong nut & chocolate notes in the nose. Nice!
Medium thin mouthfeel.
Nutty chocolate flavor as well. A home run.
