Level 6 Bottleshare. Opaque dark brown beer, decent tan head. Smooth and slightly soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy dark malts. Slightly tangy and bitter coffee. Tangy dark fruits. Mild spice. Soft but rich bourbon soaked dark fruits. Spicy twangy bitter finish. Despite its age, this is a somewhat inelegant beer. Tasty but clunky. Bit of a disappointment.

Bottle. Dark mahogany beer with a brown head. Caramel and light toffee aroma with backing hops. Rich malt and caramel/toffee flavor with licorice and light backing hops. Medium-plus bodied. Rich malt and caramel/toffee linger with light chocolate, light marshmallow, and light backing hops.

12 oz can from Boise Co-op. Dark pour, but still clear. Small beige foamy head. Nutty, roasty aroma. Taste follows with more solid roast, light sweetness. Classic example of the style.

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark brown pour, foamy head fades to flat. Aroma hits first with some booziness, sweet malts linger underneath. Malty taste too, not to far off from a Barleywine. Latent warmth hangs in the chest for a while.

Ever so slightly hazy light amber and bronze coloured body with a lighter golden tint when held up to a light, but a smooth and relatively small single to perhaps two centimetre tall head. Aroma of the funky spice and graininess with a dose of salt, brine and astringency, but the caraway seed is very distinct throughout. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent grainy and spicey flavour at first that has a lot of flavours toward rye, caraway seed and some other funky notes that aren't typical in beer - and it shows, but the finish is a touch smoother with some plain biscuity malts, a bit of sweetness and a light citrus finish. Aftertaste shows the spices more than anything with a distinct grainy and astringent finish with the caraway seed, rye, salt and pepper notes that show through just about everything. Overall, a funky beer, and it shows. Not necessarily horrible - just interesting, especially when you consider their beers generally hit their mark in terms of what the label states. Not really my cup of tea, but I can't fault them for trying. This would be great alongside a sandwich from Katz's - too bad I'm not in New York. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$2,25 sampled on 07-March-2019 at home in Washington.

Bottle shared by Andrew, thanks! Pours a deep amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains, Belgian yeast, light peppers, chocolate and a hint of toffee backing. Flavor has sweet grains, Mexican chocolate and Belgian yeast with a bit of bread underlying.
