Jan 24, 2009 2007 bottle. Poured light-medium amber with a short, swirly cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweeter medium-skinned fruits and pale malts with heavy alcohol amplification.. spicy pepper and floral notes at the edges.. dry hint of cardboardey oxidation at the very back. The flavor was on the strong side and it showed a little age to it.. pale malts, caramel, and lighter-skinned fruits at the core with floral and peppery bitterness around.. more oxidation than the nose with dried herbal and woodsy character.. finished sweet enough to conceal some of the warmth. Medium-bodied, dry, and spicy on the palate with low-ish carbonation.. decent all around.

Oct 24, 2008 Bottle… Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08 … Hazy copper ale with a small, creamy, white head. Sweet aroma with loads of toffee and caramel malt followed by a whisper of black tea. Full-bodied, sticky and chewy with modest carbonation. Boozy, sweet caramel and fruit flavor… dried figs and fuzzy fruits. Sweet, caramely finish. Muchos kudos to Ibrew2or3 for bringing this one to the Throwdown!
