Bottle: Pours a deep brown with a large, frothy tan head. Nose is rather hoppy with light cocoa and some roastiness. Tastes more roasty and dark chocolate based. Some light bitters with plenty of roastiness and a little molasses. Thinner on the body, but a decent brew.
Earlier Rating: 4/4/2006 Total Score: 3.9
Definite flavor present here. Coffee and chocolate tones, malts, roastiness, and a nice balanced amount of hops. Color is dark brown/blackish and thick. Finished with a nice bitterness, but overall is very smooth.

Bottle, shared by Maria. It poured a clear, reddish brown body, topped by a dense beige head. Slightly cellarish nose with cooked vegetables, roasted malt and some chocolate. Roasted, chocolatey, coffeeish flavor with a touch of vegetables. Chocolate finish. Dry, quite effervescent. It disappointed a bit, I sure didn’t expect the vegetables, but else it’s a decent brew.

No messing around after a long day being preyed on by black flies, mosquitoes, and ticks in Michigan’s great north country. Served in a plastic hotel cup: clear straw body, medium off-white head. Sickly sweet aroma with rough grain notes. The body is sweet and packs a punch, with rough off-flavors and grain husks biting the tongue and piercing the overt sweetness of the cheap additives. Pretty bad stuff that should be illegal, not imported.

Bottle. Pour is a pale and fizzy gold with doughy malt and grassy hop aromas. A touch of pepper in the aroma, too. Taste is a nice mix of pepper and grass hops presence hovering over a soft texture of light malt. (Wow... that’s really bad, but I’m going to leave it.) This is pretty good...

Bottle: Poured a light copper color beer with small bubbly head with limited retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some adjunct. Taste is also dominated by some sweet adjunct notes. Thin body with some medium carbonation. I can find a fault in this beer except for the fact that this is bland and incredibly boring.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs sucré avec des notes de sucre chimique, de légumes bouillis ainsi que des traces de houblon herbeux (herbe mouillée). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et un peu croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné d’un goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût sucré de maïs ainsi que des notes de sucre chimique puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon assez herbeux (herbe mouillée et traces de foin) aux petites notes asséchantes. Post-goût court et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des notes chimiques.

Aroma is of toasted malts with some molasses, very light hops hops with vanilla and something slightly sour. Pours with a largish, creamy, light brown head with some lacing. Full retention. Extra dark brown body. Taste is watery up front with burnt coffee out back with a bit of breadyness. Very dry. Too fizzy.
