12oz bottle. Dulled orange-tan, faint haze. Thin head oily head. Unappetizing, semi-putrid aroma. Faint husky cluster hop balance, thinner and lighter than your typical Steam beer. If they had made this with more finesse, quality control, I can see it being quite nice...I like the concept of a clean golden Steam beer....this one falls way short though...off tones dominate and bring it down into amateur hour territory.

Location: Bottle at Paul's Blind Impy Stout Tasting, 1/5/13
Aroma: The nose is sweet and malty, has some booze and some caramel
Appearance: The beer pours an almost black color with a brown head
Flavor: Taste-wise, it is pretty much what you'd expect from the nose, sweet and a little boozy
Palate: The body is medium, with a decent feel, and a little bit of heat on the finish
Overall Impression: There was quite a bit going on here, so that was nice. It was a touch too sweet, and though maybe not a top of style offering, this one was pretty good in my opinion.

Draft at Old Fashioned. Thick, opaque brown. Thin, oily head. Rich and chocolaty. Very thick and rich body with some dark fruit tones as well. Doesn’t really nail the style. Lots of roasty character. Fairly unique or just oddly executed.

Draft at Old Fashioned. Opaque amber-brown color. Thick and chunky. Thin layer of beige head. Lots of pungent funky notes. Raisin, funked out toffee. Could have benefited from some hoppiness, tastes and smells rather devoid. Big and sugary. Pretty sub-par for the style, a beer only a mega-homer could love. Very English feel to it, but also sort of gross.

Scored this as a bonus in a trade. 12oz bottle pours a watery, almost opaque super deep brown with a head that was initially super frothy and then fades to nothing. Toasted bread aroma, light coffee, light malt, some earthiness. Flavor is sweet, chocolate, brown sugar, coffee with cream, toasted bread, malts. Finish is a little watery but with a cayenne pepper kick in the back of the throat. Needed more of a beer base to hang with all the other stuff happening in this.

courtesy of homebrew311 for the trade. pours dark brown, tan head. aroma, chocolate malts, dark fruits, yeasty. flavors, bold, fizzy carbonation, found it to have a tad too much yeast and dark fruit; fig, dates. Lingering mild tartness, wondering if some infection might be in the bottle. Some chocolate bitterness, medium-high carbonation. I have another bottle that I’ll try again, something was a little off with this one.

Bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head with a gray hue. Aroma has note of chocolate with a slight spicy note. The flavor begins with a sweet chocolate flavor but the spice builds throughout and finishes with a nice kick.
