Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 10/28/10
Aroma: The nose is dark malts, roasted notes, earthy notes, and a good amount of booze
Appearance: The pour is a dark brown color with a slight red hue and a small light brown head
Flavor: The taste is very earthy/woody, with a roasted feel, and a slightly bitterness in the finish
Palate: The body is relatively full, the beer is pretty smooth, with quite a bit of heat in the finish
Overall Impression: First time I've had anything from (or even heard the name for that matter) Rock Art Brewery. This beer was alright, nothing too exciting, but nothing too exciting. I have to be honest, I didn't get any pumpkin, I wasn't expecting a pumpkin beer, but I was expecting a little bit of pumpkin in my Impy Stout, and I didn't get that. Anyway, I wouldn't rush out for this one again, but it isn't bad either, it just isn't well crafted enough.

Bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. Amber colour, big to moderate off-white head. Hoppy aroma and flavour (Columbus hops), the flavour also has spicy notes with hints of Belgian ale yeast, otherwise this is a fairly standard American IPA (which is not a bad thing).

Bottle at Funky 6. Porus cloudy amber with a modest, off-white head. Holds a nice citrus hop aroma with some malts and yeast. Fairly sweet with light caramel and some pine and fruit hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with some malty sweetness, Belgian yeast and lingering bitterness. Good stuff.

A reddish copper brown ale with a thin off white head. Classic vinous aroma of caramel, treacle, dark fruits, and c-hops. In mouth, with biscuitty malts, roasted barley, vinosu notes, warming alcohol and smooth hops. Medium bodied. Well balanced and pleasant....bottle is 2 years old.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a muddy glow and a very thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of raisins, smoked peat, malt, caramel and a bunch of dirt & tobacco. Medium-bodied; Assertive malty and peaty flavour at first with a bunch of dirt and earthy flavours and a lot of caramel and sweetness to finish it all off. Aftertaste shows more peat and smoked characters with some malt and a very light spiciness at the end. Overall, a decent beer, not sure what category it truly belongs in, but not a bad beer - just not a great one in an overly defined category. Worth trying if you can find it to sample the breweries special beers. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 11-July-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 20-September-2010.
