2.3copper with white head that dissipates quickly. some yeasty bready flavors with some carmel and raspberry and prune flavors.
3.2bottle - Pours amber with a thin head. It has a malty aroma iwth maybe a little dark fruit tone. The flavor was also malty and put me in mind of raisins to go with the caramel malts and mild hops. The medium body was a little watery and the finish mildly dry. I expected a little better ratings here.
1.912 oz bottle. Deep muddy brown/amber in color. Aroma is alot of sweet malt and an off putting heavy metallic. Taste is malty, sweet, bready, with less metallic in the taste but still apparent. not much hop character to speak of.
2.3Floral hop aroma not too excesive. Roast malt aroma, color was dark with garnet highlitess not clear knid of meukey. Over the top sweet malt flavor and plum type of almost ale type of fruitiness. A little too much...may be wierd fermentation
1.4This had a somewhat fragrant aroma.Color was redish.That is about all that is good with this beer.I hope this doesn’t mean that tonite will be crappy beer night.This beer is overrated.I dumped it out.
3.7Bottle. Fruity and hoppy, with crisp aftertaste and distinct aroma. Strong sense of berries and plums; small but creamy head.
1.1Poured a brown body with hints of red and a beige head. Aroma was off putting like raspberry and malt extract and kool-aid®. This is bad, a slight nut flavor then just watery crap. Fruitiness in this is like rotten fruit. Like a plum that has gone bad by a day or two. A bit of vegetable tainted caramel. This is bad and I am not taking another sip.

1.6Bottle. Aroma is heavily malty, with very little hops noticeable. Flavor is very carmelly, with very little hops present in the flavor. Aftertaste is toffee/coffee-like and not very pleasant. Only a little bit of hops detectable, but only long after the main aftertaste has disappeared, kind of an after-after-aftertaste. Carbonation was nearly non-existant, and felt more like I was drinking flavored water. Absolutely no fizz (and hence, no flavor, fun, or palate). Definitely NOT something I would ever buy again.
2.2Wow, a bad beer. I hate reviewing beers this bad. Poured a motor oil thick dark copper to brown color with no head and no lacing. This beer was motor oily thick and just looked miserable. The aroma was all caramel malt. The flavor was super sweet and malty caramel and brown sugar. No hops, no nothing to accompany these two things. A pretty nasty production. A lager? Good golly.
2.5Pours a dark brown color with crimson highlights. Intially offers a generous tan head which fades quickly. Faint aromas of some dark roasted malts, burnt caramel and dark fruits. Mouthfeel is quite thin and a bit too fizzy. Flavors are predominantly on the sweet side with mild notes of caramel, toffee and raisin backed with a minimum presence of some roasted malt and hop bitterness. Finishes very quickly. Not a whole lot here to get excited about
2.4Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Poured dark with a off-white head. Aroma of hops and caramel malt. Flavor is boring, and there isn’t much.
2.5we used to drink this at the house o blues. better then the other dixie beers. dark brown ruby color with a small tan head that bleeds away quickly. small nostes of malty sweetness. somewhat greasy on the palate with an unbalanced maltiness that dominates everything. extract feel.
2.4Poured a very hazy, dark brown with low carbonation and a short lived head. Aromas and flavors are of dark cherries and chocolate. Medium bodied with a slight sweetness. Not much hop bitterness or flavor can be detected.
3.2Bottled. Pours a dark amber color. Malty aroma with hint of dark fruit and toffee. Slightly sweet roasted flavor right up front along with some chocolate. Slightly roasted finish. Not bad.
3.3Pours dark brownish amber with a fully receding white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, caramelized wort, and metallic hops. Taste is toasted crackers, bready sweet malt, and flowery hops. Mouthfeel is thin bodied and slightly resinous with medium carbonation.
2.3Dark amber (I think, it was dark) body with a small head. Aroma is caramel with hints of roast and other weak malts. Pretty boring, overly carbonated. Worst of the night.
3.2A slip of the lip may sink a ship, but htsprint1 would have made Freud chuckle when he called this one "Crimson DooDoo" at our last meeting. I didn’t think it was that bad. There is a reddish hue to a caramel-brown body and a tan head fades quickly to an oily film. Aroma of prune, raisin and sherry plus butterscotch in aroma and flavor that doesn’t offend. Oily mouthfeel with a touch of vinegar and stale malts. All together reminded me of an "Old Ale".
Enjoyed with the LoSBD 01/07/06
3.8Delicious. Like molasses. Bottle at Brickskeller, Washington DC. Though mainly more of a chillax beer than a conversation inducing beer. Drank this in support of New Orleans.
2.5"well little below average on this one. Pours deep red color almost no head. Carmel malt taste and smell. Leaves a weird metalic aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel."
2.8A nice red colored body. A fruit malt aroma, maybe some strawberrys. A nice dark fruit flavor.
2.6Dark reddish-brown color with a thin off-white head. Malty aroma with hints of fruit. Flavor of light brown sugar with some fruit.
2.6Bottle. Pours a reddish amber color with a small off-white head that was lasting. Medium fruity aroma. Medium body. Unusual spice and bitter flavor with a short finish. Worth tasting once.
2.6Pours a amber color. Aromas of malts and a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet malt, could use more hops. I like the Blackened better.
3.0This beer poured a medium reddish-brown color with a small, short-lived head that didn’t leave anything behind. The aroma is light with notes of malty caramel, and molasses toasty grin and a hint of raisin. The palate is average—the texture is watery and thin with less-than-lively carbonation. The flavor isn’t very engaging. The start has a lightly bitter/slightly sour burst that gives way to a very short, slightly sweet finish.
3.0Pour is a dark red with a white head. Aroma is caramel malts and other dark things. Flavor is pretty weak but you get some dark fruit flavor and brown sugar in there. Good enough for a rating.
2.812oz bottle via trade with beerandblues2 - Thanks Brad! - Pours dark red with a small tan head. Aroma of light caramel malts and some candied sugar. Flavor is creamy caramel, some molassess and brown sugar. This has a nice creamy mouthfeel but it is so one dimensional that it is tough to get it even to average as a rating. Fair palate but the rest I could pass on.
2.2Reddish color with minimal head. Not very pleasant to taste or smell. Poor mouthfeel. Interesting label though.
4.3Is ____ magic involved in this? Maybe, a truly beautiful beer. Smooth and tasty. (The blank is because I can’t read my drunken writing; and seeing other scores, perhaps too far gone to accurately rate).
3.0Not too bad. Sweet flavor, which does not overwhelm, and not that bad of a finish. I don’t know why the price was so high for this beverage.
2.7Sample shared per Chuck! Thanks Chuck! Pours to a hazy red tinted brown body with a thin white ring head. The aroma has some tobacco and soured molasses. It doesn’t smell half bad. The flavor seems to present some diacetyls and some sweetened Georgia tea. I’m not a huge fan of sweet tea. It doesn’t taste bad, just not my fave. The palate is medium bodied and has that tea like feel.
