A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with quite a lot of hops. The flavor is sweet with a dry malty note combined with a light fruity note and a light oxidation. I’m surprised that it is not better.

Pours a light gold with a generous white head. Light malt accompanied by some lightly perfumed hops. Fruity. Slightly sweet with some underlying bitterness as it moves towards the finish. A bit of cardboard. Needs more malt and hop complexity with just a touch more body.

Bomber. Well I will make this quick - this beer kind of sucks. The aroma is a burnt chocolate, actually offensive a bit. Taste is hollow roast. Imagine a roasty flavor with all the positive aspects removed. A completely water-like aftertaste. This is my second Rock Art beer and possibly my last.

12 oz bottle-pours a creamy, thick white head that reduces. Color is hazy golden. Aroma is creamy, malty. Vanilla? Taste is creamy, malty, then midtaste, a sharp (maybe from a different style hops that I’ve had before), light taste. OK carbonation. I have now read others descriptions and the category of this beer, had no clue they were trying to do a Belgian...

12 oz bottle-pours a thick lacing light tan head with a clear dark amber color. Aroma is hoppy followed by malt. Taste is slightly bitter, hops, dark deep roasted malt.

2005 bottle from City Market in Burlington. Pour reveals a clear blackish brown, with no red tinges that I can make out. Head is moderate, and dark tan, but seems to recede fairly readily, leaving little lacing. Aroma is not terribly expressive, mostly roast, bitter dark chocolate, but what it does have is strength. This is one of the few dry stouts where the aroma is actually notable when the bottle is open. I didnt have to bury my nose in the snifter to get this one. Flavor - Wow, that’s dry. The light roast and bits of lactose and caramel from the nose don’t prepare me for the amount of attenuation on it. Not watery though, and a moderate carbonation. Bit of a prickly mouthfeel, all told, the dry roast not really helping. Moderate acidity, but somehow, my palate gets used to the dryness and there is some sweet malt as it warms. Finishes with lots of roast, notes of coal and tobacco, chocolate graham crackers. Hops apparency is very low. Medium body.

Red copper lager with a thick moka head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with alcohol gin aroma. Sweet cardboard malt with not much else. Watery and sad. Dec. 2004. Bought at Winooski Bev. Centre.

Nov. 28 2004 at MartinT. Deep dark opaque with no head. Light fruity chocolate vanilla aroma. Roasted coffee with light smokeyness, medium bodied, fair stout.
