Bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar, thank you sir! Very light amber color, off white edge head. Aroma of licorice and caramel. Taste is malty, slightly metallic.

Draft at Lucky Lab on Quimby. Aroma of spicey brown ale. Dark amber color with a beige head. Flavor is sweet, lightly roasted caramel malt with a hint of smoke (?) and a bit of vanilla. Finish is mellow and tasty. Low level Xmas brew in terms of spice, but very tasty.

Had this about two years ago. Very fortunate it was just put on tap during my visit to the area. Pours a beautiful clear dark amber with tan head and nice lacing. The aroma is light and brings forth sweet malts, roasted malts, sweet dark fruitiness and more roasted malt sweetness. Wow, the taste is very inviting forcing another sip. It is mostly moderately roasted malts mixed with some caramel, sweet black grapes, plums and a hint of sweet raisins. The malts combine with a breadiness about midway and slowly fade into the finish. I get mild burnt malts, roasty malts and some chocolate malts as the finish approaches where they’re met by some dark fruitiness that edges out the other notes for flavor supremacy. Throughout the taste experience is an under current of grapefruit bitterness that grows to a moderate state into the finish and seems to peak during the after taste where it is joined by roasty and chocolate malts.

On Tap at DK Dark redish amber with only a trace of head or lacing. Rather noticeable ABV in the aroma and flavor. Softly carbonated and was hoping for a fuller palate.

Murky dark chestnut brown. Minty, orangey nose w/ light molasses. Quite sweet, minty, herbal, then suddenly does a U-turn into an intense, medicinal, quinine, bark-like bitterness. Distinctive, if nothing else.
