Bottle Pours out black topped with a tan head. Aroma of roast malts, milk chocolate, vanilla, wood and caramel. Taste was more of the sweetness vanilla, chocolate, almond joy, pit fruit, all in a great body. Very glad I got to try this one.

Bottle sampled at SIB, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma of oat, roasted malt, espresso and some chocolate notes. Flavour is an extremely rich, complex mix of these, with a very smooth palate. ABV hidden well. Phenomenal brew.

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Sampled 4/21/10. Pours a clear dark brownish red color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate and herbal notes. The taste is chocolate, herbal notes, brown malts and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Tasty beer.

I had this from the bomber while on vacation in Gold Beach, OR. I haven’t tried a beer made with hemp before, so I figured what the hell...I’m on vacation! Not really that good in my opinion. Aroma is of syrupy malts. Appearance is pure brown with little head. Taste falls somewhere between malty and sour, almost a granola-esque aftertaste that isn’t bad at all, just not my thing. Oh well!

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, soy sauce, and wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt as well as medium notes of hops, soy sauce, and wood, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
