Thanks to my friend Jay for leaving me 4 of these, what a guy.
Taken out of the fridge and poured into a Kate bulb, bottled 9/14/11 (damn)

A Medium brown color poured from the bottle and a pretty dark and murky brown in the glass, can see though the thinner areas of the glass. A 1+ finger head head billows up and has some decent retention while not much lacing is left on the way down. A small ring of foam is left, and there's nice carbonation whe playing with it.

S Big time brown sugar scent comes out at once followed by dark roasted grains. There's some hops in the end, a little earthy.

T There's a really nice balance going on in here. Somewhat sweet with a roast up front that comes to a mild to medium bitterness. The finish is a hoppy bitterness that has a light pine and sweet linger. I'm getting coffee, light chocolate and nice bitterness. Really nicely done DFH, kudos.

M Medium feel with medium carbonation, drinks pretty well. Finishes pretty crisp.

O This beer is really solid. I had one for the first time in a while last night and really wanted to give it an honest review. I never really buy DFH 4/6 packs when looking for the next new beer on the shelf, but this one is awesome. Taste is pretty great and price is nice as well. great stuff
