Orange amber color with a med fizzy head. Light caramel aroma. Nice caramel and toffeeish flavor. Mostly clean with a mild flavor and finish.

This very much reminds me of Dixie Blackened Voodoo, but maybe a bit better. I'm not too sure about that "chocolate-toffee" flavor. It may be there, but it is very slight. This has a nice, roasty finish, even if it doesn't linger on the palate as long as I would like.

Copper colored with a rather thick head. Faint malt aroma. The flavor was unfortunately rather bland and there is no risk of it offending anyone. I like to be challenged a tad more by a beer that touts being a micro-brew on their label.

This is an ale? I found it to be rather schwarzbier like. Chocolatey with a little spice and maybe even some licorice. Fairly German. Its mild and clean qualities esp made me think it was a lager (or at least lagered). Fairly light-bodied and almost watery - but not really. But it doesn't have the mouthfeel of porter or stout. Perhaps some hints of metallic flavors...similar to Dixie Blackened Voodoo. Re-rate with higher numbers, and the funny thing is I still think of it as a light schwarzbier, oscura, dunkel or other dark German lager. My notes from the session: Brown with red, til its almost purple. Full foamy head. Mild notes of cocoa, caramel and weak coffee in the nose. Pleasing cocoa/coffee flavor with dry clean finish. This is a pretty nice oscura. Easy drinking.

Light amber; refreshing, but artificial raspberry character. Standard stuff.
