Poured a totally opaque black with a whispy, lacing, slightly off white head. Aroma is all roasted malt and nuts. Flavor is heavy roasted malt, hints of coffee, smoke and wood. Smooth on the tongue with a below average bitterness on the finish. Definitely a session beer, one that doesn’t get old the more you drink it.

The bartender told me this was their "sweet lager" and it was exactly that. Brown head, brown translucent color with red hues. WAY too sugary and lightly malty. Might be alright for a pint, but too much for a session.

Thanks to Kmweaver for trading this to me so that I could share this bottle with everyone at the Tennessee Spring(ish) Tasting! A fleeting tan head covers this clear, dark brown brew. Complex aroma that plays with some malt, licorice, Dr. Pepper, prune juice and smoke; all of which come again in the flavor. Smooth, sweet, full palate. A very good beer, but be prepared for a sweet one.

At RBSG 2006 party at RFD. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orange-beige head. The aroma is lovely sweet hop soup. The flavor is a bit like drinking a cold hop soup with lots of alfa acids and lots of fruit, leading to an end with a note of citrus that lingers for a long time and bit by bit turns dry. This beer is so strongly hoppy, that I find it like a sipping beer.

Draft at the Bowie location. A pitch black beer with a slitght brown shine penetrating it under a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of roasted malt and chocolate, leading to a dry roasted bitter end - with notes of bitter desert chocolate.

Draft at the Bowie location. A dark amber beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of butterscotch, but also light notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet again with notes of butterscotch and caramel, but also with notes of raisins and a coffee liquor like Kahlua.

[Draft at the Bowie location] An amber beer with a thin dense off-white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with notes of grapefruit - which leads the thoughts towards Cascade, but also a light caramel note. The flavor is nice with a good presence of aroma hops, slight notes of toffee, and a fine delicate bitter finish. I also had this on nitro, which made the aroma weaker and the mouthfeel more smooth.

[Draft at the Bowie location] An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is light with notes of caramel - too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and bread, and with a light note of metal in the finish. I find it kind of boring - lacking character.

Draft at th Bowie location. I believe mine was spelled Kizmet. A dark yellow beer with a lazing dense white head. The aroma is fresh with a lot of citrus and some malt. The flavor is nicely hoppy with notes of grapefruit (Cascade?) on an OK malty background and leading to a very dry hoppy finish.
