Pours a dark brown-black color with a medium tan head that dissipates steadily to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and malt. Medium body with a charred coffee and malt character, with some chocolate in the background. The finish is chocolatey with a short burnt coffee aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

4 oz draft as part of a 4 beer flight at Selma’s Chicago Pizzeria in San Juan Capistrano, California. The pour is a dark brown black with a small off white head. The aroma is faint caramel malt and a bit of cherry fruit. The taste is a cherry fruit, which is a bit off, along with caramel nut malt. The palate is medium to light bodied with the off fruit sweet aftertaste.

Bottle from Foothills Discount Liquor. Smooth and mild. Light aroma on top of brown body with soft creamy head. Taste is sweet, then nutty, overall nice texture. Mild bitterness from the roast grains lingers, Nice and smooth, but nothing special.

22oz bottle to myself on 5th May 2016 at a friends BBQ while in California. Guess the colour: correct, it’s brown, the head off-white and lasting. Semi-sweet with malty molasses ruling both the nose and taste: failed to find any traces of oak chips, be they French or American. Some chocolate notes can be found though: interesting and I enjoyed the beer even if it didn’t go with Ribs and hot weather.

22oz bottle to myself on 5th May 2016 at a friends BBQ while in California. Misty golden pour, huge, deep, white blanket for a head. hops dominate the nose and taste, it’s bitter too. The malts are hidden for me, my palate couldn’t detect any influence anyway: still enjoyed the beer though.

Pour is a almost black with a large tan head. Aroma is more of a bitter bakers chocolate then a sweet mile chocolate with a little roast and alcohol in there. Flavor is again more of a bakers chocolate than a sweet chocolate. I don’t get any cocoa nibs or lactose but it dose have some coffee and again this is way more bitter than sweet. Solid but not a huge chocolate presence.

1st May 2016, this beer is all over San Diego Zoo; so I had a draft pint when my legs began to buckle and I was all zoo’ out. Golden pour with an unlasting white head. Mild honey notes in both the aroma and taste, pleasant enough when exhausted on a warm, sunny Southern Californian afternoon. God, I needed this!

Bottle. Pours deep mahogany, medium tan head, dissipates quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is tart, fecal, funky, infected. Flavor is medium tart, roasted malts and fecal hints, cardboard. Not as bad as I feared from the smell, but pretty unfortunate. Watery texture, light body.

Bottle from Bottleworks, Seattle
Hazy light amber color with compact head. Wonderful aroma, pungent hops (but less than usual Nelson Sauvin), perfume and talc, Brett. Lean body; mild malt and toffee flavor, some fruitiness, Bretts, bitter orange peel, strong bitterness, astringent final.
Clearly infected. And it worked out well.
