This one came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma was tangy, bitter and toasty with a faint undertone of vanilla. The flavor was bitter, roasty, dry and gritty with a hint of malted milk. Rather one dimensional. Medium length finish, medium body. Ok.

Bottle thanks to cavie. Pours with a brown body and a thin tan head. Aroma of husk, caramel and corn. Taste is roasted and slightly bitter. Very watery with medium carbonation.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head recedes to skim rim leaving no lacing. Smoky chocolate malt aromas. Crisp with upfront dark caramel and a lasting smoked metallic hop finish.

12oz bottle-pours a dissipating tan head and black color. Aroma is ashy then dark fruit-prune/fig, some off putting notes. Taste is sweet dark malt-molasses/toffee, dark fruit-prune, some hops bite. Soft, nice. Thanks to donkeyrunner/Shane for this trade with jwc215 & me.

My friend Artem brough this back from his trip to Cape Cod. Pours black with a small head aroma is pale lager clean with a bit of roast and nuttiness, some corn as well, even faint smoke. Taste is lightly sweet nuttiness with a bit of skunk. Pretty average, a bit stale feel to it. Cardboard aftertaste. Bottled on 6/06. 12oz bottle, Hobgoblin tulip glass.

Bottle at Sunset Grill on 2/25/06. Fairly vigorous pour yields a rather small amount of head, that is not long retained, fading to a light smattering of cover and then ring, leaving no lacing. Large bubbles throughout the liquid, force carbonated and all, and clear as day. The liquid is a rosy, magenta-tinged mahogany with some deep strands of amber as well. Head is dark beige. The nose shows quite a bit of breadiness. Heavy sourdough maltiness, very munichy, with lightly astringent toasted grain notes, a dab of light coffee and a creamy sweet ending, flecked with mildly herbal-spicy noble hops. The flavor opens up with tons of breadiness and a high amount of drying graininess. Heavy sourdough again, with sweet buttercream, light vanilla and a graceful dark chocolate note that cuts the sweetness rather well. Though, the sweetness is not difficult to get through, the heavily drying breadiness seeing to that. Low hop apparency, only mildly spicy notes towards the end. Dry plant-like bitterness notes that I get from something like Guinness or Murhpys, and no alcohol. The texture is too loose for a schwarzbier, while the overdone carbonation inherent to all Buzzard’s Bay bottled beers breaks up what comforting, creamy maltiness there could be.
