On tap at Capones. This one just did not do it for me. The color was a dark off brown that was somewhat clear with a good tan head. Light lacing with a burnt roasted malt smell. There is a nice hop aroma. But I could not get the burned malt out of my nose. Surprisingly I tasted coffee hints. This beer seemed tilted, unbalanced. The hops and malt did not blend well. In the mouth it seemed to bubbly for this style otherwise it was ok. I had a 4 oz sample and that was enough for me. I wish I dug this beer as much as I dig Primus. Later

22oz bottle into Rastal 0.3L. no bottled on date.

A: relatively clear, moderate brown hue. head is a shade of brown, but otherwise very white. retention is quite good, as is the lacing.

S: dark chocolate, a bit of coffee. there is a decent amount of American hops sprinkled in with what is otherwise mostly all-grain aroma-wise. really roasty, smells similar to a porter.

T: roasty and chocolaty both at the beginning and especially at the conclusion of the sip. slightly astringent. a little soapy? finish is bitter before turning to more astringency. more chocolate.

M: moderate amount of carb on a very medium, almost full body.

D: a good drinking, strong brown ale. good/great aroma, good flavor. the astringency is almost too strong as I wouldn't hate for a little softer malt profile to keep things biscuit and a bit rounder. not bad non-the-less.

Pours a darker brown with a full head that disappates to mostly a rim around the glass. Clean filtered. Aroma is darker malts, brown sugar and maple syrup. Flavor is much of the same - good quality brew. Good balance - not too thick for the beginning of spring, but not too thin to give some heartiness to it.

Pours a deep mostly translucent brown, tan thin head dissipates to a lacing.

Roasted coffee and hints of hop in the nose.

Flavor is of roasted coffee with some acidic tartness and the aforementioned subdued hop bitterness, on the nutty side.

Medium body with a subtle tingly carbonation.

Good flavor and drinkability, nice balance in the coffee and hop elements, would definitely have again.

Pours dark opaque brown with a finger of beige head. Great lacing.

Smell is malt forward with coffee, roasted almonds, some chocolate, and just enough hop aroma.

Tasty stuff..nutty and malty with smooth roasted character. Well balanced with piney hop flavors.

Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, could have a few of these.

More good stuff from Voodoo..Go get it.
