Not totally thrilled. Flat, flavour doesn't stick around. Meh.

Notes from July 2009 $3 bottle from Whole Foods. Pils glass. Beautiful oatmeal cascade settles into about an inch & a half of sturdy froth. Deep garnet, black tea color. Never noticed before how filtered it was. Energy saving LEDs have come a long way. Smells of lots of coffee creamer & cocoa. A heavy Fig Newton/Fruit & Grain character occupies the middle. Endtrails are mostly earth & alcohol. Soothing. Flavor is dusty bread crust upfront, some cream, followed by scorched nuts. Molasses, though thinned out still manage to coat it. Alcohol is pretty manageable. Finish is just a bit of barky bitterness, with a touch of smoke. It doesn't quite taste fresh though. It's creamy certainly, but doesn't exhibit the thicker toffee I remember when the shelf was first filled. Carbonation is barely recognized, & though it has never been stiff, that was different too. Fresh, this is a top 10 beer for me. Edit 12/24: Fresh flavor is doughy with hazelnuts, creamy & gentle with the caramel. Just a twinge of bitter earth. Carbonation is just a hair better then last time, but it whips the beer in a constant froth. Love it. :)
