Feb. 2006 - Wow..this was a darned fine beer! Beer was itching to get out of the bottle and the first crack of the cap sent a stream down all over the counter. Had I known how good it was going to be, I would have waited until no one was looking and licked it off the counter! Beer poured ruby brown with big (but not out of control) head and lacing throughout. Aroma was sweet fruit (figs or dates, but I’m not sure which). The flavor was really rich and sweet, but somehow not overly so. About as good as it can get...even with a little hop bite at the end. Fantastic!! The only downside is that I had to split the bomber with my dad (what the heck...he bought it!) Give me more!

Aug 20, 2008 Pours an orange brown with fizzy head and risidual sediment. Aroma holds apple cider, some raisin, plum, and yeast. Flavor has brown sugar, molasses, malt, and dried apricots. Tingly mouthfeel with sweetness and a dry finish. Very impressive shift between aroma and flavor. Very nice brew.

Aug 18, 2008 750ml bottle shared with Lee. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet candy and malt, unbelievable that this has no sugar added to it. Sweet malt candy taste with hints of fruit. Very smooth and tasty, finishes clean and gives no hint to its strength. Very good.

Aug 18, 2008 Pours reddish brown with one finger head and a host of floaters. Aroma is cider, candied apple, molasses, caramel, and some spicy yeast. Flavor is very sweet and powerful, but not overly complex. Lots of brown sugar and dark fruit. Palate is smooth, but not overly full or viscous, and leaves a bone dry finish.
