6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
12oz bottle-pours a thin tan head with some trailing laceing and dark brown color. Aroma is molasses/chocolate/roasty-dark malt, some earthy hops. Taste is acidic hops first then molasses/chocolate/roasty-dark malt, ashy, which by mid-palate unfortunately disappoints and turns to the thin side. Bottles seem to vary in quality. Notes to this point were first 2 bottles and would be 2.8, next 2 bottles were a cleaner less acidic/thin. Shared with decaturstevo.

Courtesy of gunhaver. Pours dark brown with thin off white head. The aroma is very nice and inviting with roast, molasses, some toffee, chocolate and smooth mild burnt malts. The taste begins thin with roast and burnt malts then moving into hints of molasses and chocolate. The burnt malts grow into the finish. The nose overstated the goodness of the flavor. Still mighty fine though.

Courtesy of gunhaver. Pours deep copper with thin tan head. The aroma is thick with malts, rich cherries and some solid roastiness. The taste has a load of thick rich roasted malts moving into mild pine hops that become increasingly bitter to midway. I’m getting very little in the way of barleywine notes. It ends with some dryness, fading pine hop bitterness and roasted malts.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Thanks! And finally I have an Arizona rating that’s not Cave Creek Chili Beer. Woot! Pours a very, very dark brown color. Thin head with good head retention and fair lacing. Very nutty roasted malt aroma with caramel and oats. Taste is nuts, caramel, chocolate, smoke. Medium bodied.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet matly and fruity, and so is the flavor - quite plain. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle, thick pour and very small head that fades fast. Murky to muddy brown body with some orange highlights. Strong aroma with notes of brown sugar, spice, ginger and molasses. Light fruits, but it really reminds me of ginger-ale. Taste is malty and a bit husky with strong malts and dark fruits with a touch of cinnamon as well. Very malty beer. Light biting bubbles and smooth with a bit of alcohol poking through.
