Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Roasted malt aroma, but not burnt roasted. Arguably a bit nutty. Not smelling hop. Ruby copper color with a huge beige head that sticks. It laces. Starts with a nutty malty flavor. Mouthfeel is medium. The nuttiness really kicks in. The malt comes and goes. It lasts for a lengthy finish. There is some hop bitterness towards the very end, but the ma
I enjoyed this one from Mr. Smith. Pours a very dark brown, though even with an aggressive pour the head vanished on me. Very bitter with hints of chocolate, roasted nuts and barley. Smooth and tight. Well worth the $4.00.
