Bottle, at share, thanks to mansquito. Pours deep red brown. Biscuit, caramel, prune, orange zest. Way too overcarbonated. Fine.

This was a 2009 750ml bottle I have had in the cellar for the past four years. Pours a slightly watery, caramel amber with some swirling white head. Nose has some dirt, brown malt, prune, a little dried citrus peel, a little cream soda, cardboard. Flavor sort of jumps the shark, malty but not too sweet, prune, very dried raisin, dirt, cardboard, bath water. Dirty finish. I think this is probably 2 years past it’s prime.

Cloudy orange - brown beer. Tidy white head. Light soft palate., a little dry. Even soft malt. Some fresh orange underneath. A little carbonated bite and spice bring up the finish. A little honey in there. Nice beer, doesn’t taste like a heavy!

C&C 750 mL bottle from the Lancaster location. The cork exploded out of the bottle... no idea where it went... but fortunately it didn’t gush. Pours a hazy amber color with a thin fizzy tan head. Fades quickly to a ring around the glass. Aroma of toffee and raisins with an earthy note, some toastiness and a citrus hop finish. The taste is toffee, cherries, berries, toasted malts and faint hops. Thin-medium bodied.

Big thanks to Stine for sharing this one. Lots of peat in the aroma. Very dark, with low carbonation. Sweet malt, and more earthy, peaty flavor. Some smoke, as well as sugar and malt. Very good, and one of the better examples of the style.

Draft...Phoenxville location...Copper body with a beige head...Sweet sugary malt nose....a medium sweet body....some vanilla, toffee and a warm caramel presence throughout...a sweet and malty finish that gives a zing on the tongue...as it settles the alcohol aroma becomes more apparent....malts and sweet...simple and a little bland...alcohol well disguised in the flavor, no lacing

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 11. Pours golden orange to light brown with a lacing off-white head. Sweet malty, fruity and spiced aroma. Flavour is smoked, soft malty with a caramel note. Ends in a nice mellow malty and bitter note. Has a slight woody tone into the finish. Nice.
