Can from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is primarily darkish milk chocolate. Med+ body. Creamy. Flavor is bitter chocolate, some sludgy burnt malt, and hints of treacle and coffee. Definitely on the dry side of life. Has none of that odd roast malt aspect often found in browns. This beer is something of it’s own. Nice stuff.

Cask at Blue Palm’s 4th Anniversary. Pours with a hazed deep brown hued body with a foamy tan head. Conditioning is a bit poor. Aromas are fruity, estery, molasses, maple, low roast, oaky, vanillin. Flavors are chalky and fruity with mild roasts. Lots of oak tannin. Dry. Low carbonation, full bodied and quite tannic.

On tap. Pours a muddy and turbid yeasty looking hue. One of the ugliest beers I have ever seen. This was neither the first nor last pour from this keg and it all looked like thick yeast slurry. Aromas of strong apple esters, baby food (gurber’s), mild banana (not sure if it is isoamyl acetate or actual fruit), light brown sugar, lactic yogurt. Almost headache inducingly estery. Flavors are an unappealing mix of salty, exceptionally sharp fruity esters and unripe plantains. Mildly acidic, and extremely yeasty to boot. Lightly acidic and thin mouthfeel. This tastes like baby food. I know these guys make some good beers, but this is absolutely not one of them.

Appearance: Clear straw yellow with a medium sized white head and good lacing
Aroma: Pilsner malts, and burnt rubber tires
Taste: Burnt tires, grainy and sour
While I love the smell of the drag strip and burning tires, this beer was terrible. Maybe a line problem? I also had a guest beer here that had the same aroma but not as strong. Out of a 5oz sampler I has maybe 1oz.
