On tap at the brewery. Perhaps I was disappointed that Oyster Stout had run out and I was geared for that, but I found this beer lacking. Poured a clear brown with almost no head - which is ok for style. Aroma of cherry, chocolate, and syrup. The flavor was mostly a sweet and sticky syrup. Very viscous. Syrup overwhelms the palate so that other sensations cannot come out.

Great American Beer Festival 2012. Black with more carbonation than what I just tried from Rahr. More roasted grain flavor, with a very light hint of smoke, and a good palate.

Draught at Wynkoop, October 2012, GABF week. Aroma of a smokey stout. Black. Low carbonation, but a fairly thick palate. Some meat, malt, and heavily roasted grain. A rich, thick beer, great palate.

Draught at Wynkoop, October 2012, GABF week. Hazy gold color and almost no carbonation. Some apple aroma and a little apple flavor with flavor of a sweet American style wheat beer and surprisingly lots of apricot.

Draught at Wynkoop, October 2012, GABF week. Dark yellow color and a lacing white head. Dry hop aroma. Belgian yeast and balanced with hop flavor, what I expect in a Belgian style IPA, even if not as good as the best Belgian examples.

Draught at Wynkoop, October 2012, GABF week. A very god amber ale. Sweet with fresh hops, so full of hop flavor I am thinking this might be a wet hopped beer. Some brown sugar and sweet malt for balance. Full-flavored. A good beer.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting IV on 10/12/2012. The beer pours a dark brownish-amber color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to a wispy film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of cherries and malt. Full-bodied with a vinous character and notes of cherries, yeast and malt. The finish is oaky and fruity. Above average overall.
