Notes from 11/21/2008. Leftover notes from ABF leftovers. Best before date notched... err... no notch. : - Some dry gunk on the inside rim, but no gushing or odd smells on the pour. Emptied out into my Ommegang tulip for no particular reason. Inch an a half of oatmeal foam, leaving archipelago-like lace. A couple shades from black, ebony brown with a garnet hue around the edges. A little dank, with scents of red grape skins, sugary Hershey's faux chocolate, & a touch of smoke. Taste is a mix of ash, smoke, sharply rich malt, with lingering bitter roasted coffee, cocoa, & some citric acid on the finish. Alcohol is evident, but not the worst of it's melding problems. Body is a bit chalky, but offers strong & tight carbonation to help you push on. Average build. I did a couple. Nothing terrible, just uneven.

I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
A good dark brown with reddish highlights pour and a small and quickly disappearing head of foam. Not much lacing.
The smell has some caramel malt sweetness to it and some fruitiness that is on the sour end of the spectrum.
The taste is of caramel malt, some dark fruit like sour cherries, maybe some plum, it finishes mostly on the sour side and although I like sour beers more than most, I don't find it particularly attractive in this brew.
It's medium bodied and the carbonation is low. It certainly has some kick to it so going back to my earlier comments, it doesn't help the drinkability at all.
Don't get me wrong, this is a decent brew, it just doesn't hit my tastebuds on the majority of cylinders.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of beerbill. Thanks! Pours a dark brown color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is nutty with caramel and roasted malts. Taste is roasted malts and a big sour note. Seems off. Medium bodied.
