Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Leightonian. Opaque black brown beer, mahoosive pale tan head. Palate is minerally crisp and semi dry. Thin and mild dark malts, mellow coffee tang. Hops are a recessed floral bitter affair. Also a touch of bitter marmalade. Airy finish. Not bad.

Bottle split at Bruce’s Pad, thanks to Leighton, 04/11/14. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a big old light tan covering that retains well. Nose is brown bread, light pine, nutty, bitter citric, grapefruit, hint of coffee. Taste comprises bitter tropicals, earthy tones, mineral wash, faint soap, pine, light charr. Medium bodied, spritzy and overcarbed, semi drying close laced with earthy hop bitterness. Adequate CDA but lower order in the grand scheme of things.

Bottle shared in London - picked up in Vermont. Pours amber brown with a large, creamy tan head. The aroma has some dried berries, suggestions of cocoa, burnt marshmallow. Light sweet flavor with lots of charred wood, earth, burnt pine. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Lightly astringent on the finish with lots of burnt wood, burnt pine, orange rind. So so.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours darkest brown with a massive light tan head. The nose is piney, soapy, roasty, cocoa, brown sugar and some dark fruits. The taste is bitter, piney, soapy, pepper, grapefruit, lemon peel, burnt wood, ashy roast and mild acidity with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fine.

Bottle. Pours near black with a grayish brown head that dissipate slowly to the edges. Aroma has notes of earthy pine that is joined by earthy dark grains and a bit of roasted malts. Flavor has the same earthy malt and earthy grain combination with some roast coming through towards the finish.

Dark brown with a big frothy beige head and lots of sticky lacing. Aroma of caramel, milk chocolate and pine. Taste of roasted malts, ashy, chocolate and pine
Nice, mellow. This got better as it warmed up.

Earthy aroma of clay, mud, peat, and smoke with pine and coffee accents. Clear ruby brown, enormous tan head, abundant lacing. Intense pine and charcoal on the palate. Cabbage is present. Has nice attributes, but in the end I just didn’t enjoy it very much.

Location: 22 oz Bottle from Total Wine-McLean, 1/31/13
Aroma: The aroma is mostly roasted and dark malts, with some pine-like hop notes
Appearance: Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head and some sticky, drippy lace
Flavor: The flavor is medium malty, much more roasted then sweet, with a light-mid hop bitterness
Palate: It has a lighter and more watery then expected feel with a bit of a smokey, lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: Overall, I thought this was a decent dark malt beer that leans in the direction of being a Black IPA but isn’t quite a Black IPA. Still though, I thought they did a solid job here.
