11.2 oz bottle-trade with jtclockwork-pours dark amber with a foamy light tan head. Aroma is musty medium malt-roasty, earthy. Taste is an initial impression of lots of carbonation, then musty medium maltroasty/slight licorice, 2nd spice/herbal hops. Letting it sit for 10 minutes softens the carbonation.

11.2 oz bottle-trade with jtclockwork-pours a white head and hazy straw/yellow color. Aroma is ginseng-herbal, light malt/grain, some lemon. Taste is ginseng/herbal, spice hops, sweet light malt/grain. Finishes drying and with effervescence in the throat. I am hoping the bottle he traded to me did not taste the same as the one he had, as our palates tend to pick up similar characteristics.

Clear mahoney body. Off-white head. Strangly enough hoppy bitter aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Not very well balanced, but not annoying either.

Deep mahoney, clear body. Lightly brown, creamy/rocky head. Aroma or roasted malts and bit hops. Moderately (but sharply) bitter, lightly sweet flavour: quite bitter for a dark beer. Surprising, but not convincing.

Sweet syrupy aroma. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A sweet flavour at first but with a finish that is a touch herbal/medicinal/phenolic.
