(Rating #1748) acrdz (4095), Pennsylvania, USA Jun 11, 2008 Shared by kmweaver. Pours a clear but dark caramel copper color with a tan head. Viscous and oily legs cling to the glass and give off a sort of green hue. Nose is toffee liqueur and caramel malt, along with toasted bread and light notes of chocolate (chocolate liqueur). Tannic flavor, coarse and toast-heavy, medium level of alcohol noticed. Toffee and bread tend to dominate, along with quieter notes of maple and brown sugar and wood. Amaretto finish (semi-sweet) is nice. kmweaver (1770), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jun 10, 2008 341mL bottle, newest batch (I believe), courtesy of Glouglouburp. Thanks, Dany! Pours a bright, clear and viscous golden-amber color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Some nuttiness, dried red fruits, candy sugar, and even a touch of alcohol coming through in the aroma; slightly scattered, candied nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy caramel, dried red fruits, candy sugar, and some alcoholic edges showing through; reasonably tasty, but I’d love to taste this next to the original, better(?) versions of this beer. Still, tasty stuff. Medium finish: sticky red fruits, candy sugar, caramel / nougat, and just a touch of mineral bitterness. ryan (1652), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Jun 10, 2008 Courtesy of kmweaver. Clear dark amber body with a medium sized tan head. Rich toffee and dark fruit in the nose with some toast and berries. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. I’m getting lots of fruit juice, especially grapes, figs and berries, there is also an abundance of caramel and cookie dough. Medium/full body is very soft with light and gentle carbonation. wetherel (883), Carlsbad, California, USA May 25, 2008 Bottle from puzzl I think. Tried from bottle with Atlanta ratebeer crew at 5 Seasons North tasting. Red amber color. Some roasty aroma. Mild flavor. A hint of sour and dry. I was told this wasn’t the best of batches, other batches are better.
