Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

11.2 oz bottle, aged a couple of months. Pours brown with ruby highlights and has a thick pillowy light tan head that retains well and laces the glass. The aroma is sweet caramel and chocolate malts, nuts, some roast and a little smoke. The flavor is sweet caramel and chocolate malts, molasses, some dark fruits and nuts with enough of a hop fini
It poured black color with a tan head that faded rather quickly. Aromas were sweet with scents of sweet malt, brown sugar, raisin and a touch of chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied but concentrated and shows some dry bitterness to balance the sweetness from the nose.
Bottle. Dark brown, nice full light tan head. Warm, malty aroma with some dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, raisins, plums, and a hint of hops. Sharp mouthfeel finishes clean. Great stuff.
