Tap at Funkwerks - hazy dark ruby - frothy head - nose is pretty awesome, with notes of toffee, raisin, brown sugar, moderately rich maltiness, folded well into a moderate wine character - some light dirty phenols creep in, but don’t totally spoil it - full but soft carbonation in the mouth - flavor is surprisingly dry - dusty, earthy yeast - flavors of raisin, fig and plum add sweetness through the middle - moderate dry cocoa notes - very mild wine notes - light spicy phenols - everything is fairly well integrated - I dig it.

Tap at Funkwerks - hazy amber - full, pillowy head - nose is crackery malts, gingerbread, soft spiciness - soft carbonation, borders on watery, but pulls together in the end, offering a semi-firm body - flavor is dry, with moderate dusty yeast, mild spices, gingerbread, light esters - mild notes of dried apricots - finish is lightly peppery - a good brew.

750 ml bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a dark murky brown color with a medium off-white. A great roast and oaky, some sour aromas. A rich flavorful brew that simply defies characterization; oak, light roast, dry, sweet. Very unusual.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear ruby pink with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of hibiscus with flora and light fruit backed by a bit of Belgian yeast. Flavor is similar with hibiscus that is joined by light fruit and finishes with a perfumey note of floral and Belgian yeast.

Holy fuck this beer is bad - nose itonot terrible at first, with notes of ginger, but the deeper inhales reveal sweet corn adjuncty character and cheap potpourri - flavor is chalky, with heavy, dull yeast - tangy and mildly acidic through the middle - finish is mildly phenolic, with some apricot - a fucking mess.

Tap @ Funkwerks. Deep reddish brown appearance with almost no head. Dark fruity, plum, blackberry, black cherry, oaky aroma. The tannins come through even stronger in the flavor with notes of vanilla, leather, oak, light wine, cherries, and raisins. Pretty tasty.

Sample at the Central OH BA Tasting at From The Vine on 06/02/2012: The beer pours a dark reddish-brown color with a medium off-white head that lasts awhile. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, yeast and oak. Medium body with flavors of yeast, ripe fruit and subtle bourbon. The finish is sweet malt and yeast with a figgy aftertaste. Above average overall.
