Sep 1, 2008 Pours a thick ruby with a very solid, very persistent tan head. The aroma is caramel, sweet malts, and some very round, finely balanced hopiness. The flavor is similar, with more butterscotch and maybe a bit of peach. The hops and malt sweetness are just about perfect in terms of balance. The alcohol lends a bit of warmth to the finish, but the alcohol is otherwise hardly noticeable. Very hardy, creamy mouthfeel. Goes down velvety smooth. Excellent brew.

Aug 31, 2008 750 ml bottle-Pours a dark ruby red body with anice tight off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, sweetness, and hops. Taste of the same with some toffee and butterscotch thrown in. This full bodied brew is very well balanced and hides the alcohol very well. My first Alesmith and looking forward to many more.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, dedollewaitor]
Pours deep red with a great, creamy, yellowish head. Great lacing and fine duration. Aroma is sweet, lots of sticky hoppiness, some port and oak. Super light carbonation, great mouthfeel. Flavour has good maltiness at first, but some sugary feel creeps in and ruins it a bit for me. Lots of hops to balance it out - it just feels too light and sugary to be exceptional. Still great, though.

Aug 23, 2008 Tasted at Cleveland tasting on 8-23-08. Thanks!! Bottle pours a dark ruby color with a off white head. Has an aroma that makes me think of butterscotch and sweet caramel. Has a medium to heavy body. Taste is very nice. Has a stinging sensation from the carbonation. And the flavors of caramel, toffee, butterscotch are in abundence. Overall this is a very nice brew.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle from a trade with Rallison. Managed to sit on this for six whole months before breaking it out, looking at it longingly at each visit down to the cellar, sometimes rubbing it when it looked lonely or sad. Worth the wait. Dark red-tinted brown with big electric light yellow head. Truly beautiful, and amazing carbonation for a two-year old bottle. Big boozy malty aroma with some lovely hop spice as well. Looks and smells thick. Lovely strong notes of butterscotch, toffee, and caramel as well as light citrus hops throughout. A wonderfully balanced and very big beer. Loved it.
