Can bought at Urban Bottle. Canned September 13th.
Pours a dark brown with reddish hues, nice abundant head of off white foam, it bloody looks malty.
Loads of caramel malt in the smell. Some toffee, maybe a little bit of nuttiness, perhaps some coffee??
Taste is semi sweet, caramel malt, toffee, kinda nutty, light bitterness that I will accredit to coffee.
Excellent mouthfeel, tasty beer. A Winter offering for sure and a darned good one.

Malty, raisinny somewhat earthy aroma and flavor with blackberries. Long earthy bitter aftertaste with licorice. Fine strong ale. Bottle, best before 9/07, tasted in june 2011. Still a firm head. Licorice in the syrup-like aroma. Sweet flavor with licorice, anis and coughing syrup. Thick and sticky, but still a lot of life left.

12 oz can from Whole Foods, pours dark brown amber with thick tan head. Full bodied with medium carbonation, roasted malt aroma. Moderately bittersweet, spicy taste with bitter malt finish.

Can. Malty aroma, caramel, roasty notes. Tastes the same as aroma, light sweet, light to medium bitter. Medium to full body, malty bitter sweet finish. Good.
