Review from notes sampled 1/2/2008 Pours a very cloudy dark amber with lots of floaties and a thick head that disappears quickly, but that laces the glass all the way down. Smells and tastes a bit of bready, toasted caramel. A bit of spicy hop character. Not a bad brew, not my favorite offering from Magic Hat, but not the worst either.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy light tan head and copper color. Aroma is mild medium/dark malt-chocolate/toffee, some fruit, earthy hops. Taste is husky medium/dark malt, secondary earthy/some spicy/metallic hops, some dark fruit, nuttiness. A marzen/OK and funky yeast/vegetal. OK/mild carbonation.

Bottle. Had this at a party and had a hard time pegging its style, which I consider to be a good thing. Not much hoppiness, but full of rich malts and very, very smooth.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a fairly dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was sour nut and a hint of toffee. The flavor was mildly sweet, roasty and had a noted chocolate element. The beer turned a bit tangy on the finish. Tasted more like a light brown ale than a wheat ale.

Beautiful unfiltered swirling dark maroon hazy beer appearance from the gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is rather nutty and dark beer inviting. Odd notion under the cap. Creamy foam with a few bigger bubbles. Has many of the attributes of an alt. Some hop or malt bitterness is apparent on the palate, but it is well controlled. I’m surprized there are not more ratings than this, must be new. Some carbonation is present. Dark beer flavors with little bitterness. Reminds me a bit of a 3 year old Augustiner Iron City dark I had a little while ago. Except for that medium mild bitter hop bite, this is rather well mannered. Finish is some lingering bittter hops that, IMHO, can be done away with.
