From a pounder bottle. Smell is mild perfume of sweeter fermenting fruit. Looks somewhat like a thicker lager, hazy and such. Taste is like mildly soapy lager. Malty and a little creamy. Could be a little more behaved. Has a tad of that ill ale dull hop attitude to it, like older hops mixed with older lager. Go figger. Tries to be a little cloying but never quite gets there.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s pad, from Healthy Spirits in SF via Rilester who did some shopping for me, 16/01/14. Black with a good sized tan head that retains for a while before insisting on pond like behaviour! Nose carries a good roast coffee blast, earthy, vanilla, dark toffee fudge, brown sugars. Taste comprises roast coffee, chocolate, earthy, lick of booze, sweetish flavours. Medium bodied, fine carbonationm sweetish closure but tempered by the roasty notes. Decent coffee forward impy, well balanced and held together.

Bottle thanks to C-dogg. It pours darkest brown with a small tan head. The nose is rich chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, caramel, fudge, vanilla and juicy coconut. The taste is roasted malt, toast ash, earth, coffee, chocolate, spice, caramel, treacle and fudge. Medium body, moderate carbonation and viscous mouth-feel. Pretty solid stuff all-round.

Tasting at the pad of the ever gracious Bruce. Opaque brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth with mild carbonation. Smooth dark malt, light touches of malt cream and dark chocolate. Nice generic darkish fruits underneath. Smooth finish. Well joined up and tasty.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to C-Dog. Pours oily black with a creamy beige head. Rich chocolate on the nose with burnt marshmallows and burnt wood. Medium sweet flavor with lots of charred malts, dirt, rich chocolate, dark fruits. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with further rich, complex chocolate character, decent roast, charred wood. Good stuff. Nice creamy, dark chocolate. Delicious.

Capped 750 from Star Grocery in Berkeley, CA. Pours dark brown/black. Aroma of whiskey over sweet malt. Rye is detectable. Flavor is very boozy. Mostly rye. Lots of oak. Notes of bourbon vanilla. Finishes sweat whisky flavors.
