Tap at My Brother’s Bar - cloudy dark red - they nailed the style fairly well on this one, but some flaws keep it from being great - a fairly sturdy, sweet malt base, with notes of toffee and caramel - moderate hop bitterness - a sort of astringent, metallic character through the middle keeps it from being as enjoyable as it could be - lingering, sticky malt sweetness - fairly robust - okay.

Tap at Falling Rock - served in a pint glass - a strange beer, this - turbid reddish pour, with a soft, fluffy , head - a lot of treacle sweetness up front, with some fruity notes of prune, fig, and black cherry - sweetness actually intensifies after that, but the finish cuts this with a quite bizarre, almost malt vinegar-like acidity, and an almost , earthy, leathery quality - the counterpoint between extreme sweetness and the subsequent acidity make it hard to finish this - there are some interesting elements here, but it doesn’t come together that well.

Tap at Falling Rock - quite a nice brew - like a weizenbock with a hint of rye - a mild phenolic profiile, with clove being the most prominent - tangy, earthy wheat character is complimented fairly well with some mildly sour rye character - the rye also works well with the yeasty qualities of the beer - moderate sweetness and hints of roasted nuts - semi-tart finish - quite a quaffable ale.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a rim of brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cocoa, but also a siight off-note of dust. The flavor is sweet with notes of vegetables, cardboard, and roasted malt as well as a light note of acidity, leading to a dry bitter cocoa finish.
