May 31, 2009 Poured a nice translucent red with ncie head. Very malty and dark fruits. Taste was similar with lots of malt, with some hops. Texture was easy to drink and a very nice finish.

May 29, 2009 Bottle shared by someone at "Drink for Charity" event at Rattle N Hum. Deep amber beer with a thin head. Aroma is incredibly malty. Lots of sweet chewy barleywineish maltiness. Sticky and chewy with a lot of sweet rich caramel. There is a touch of leathery character and some fruity hoppiness. Sticky and sweet with a long lingering herbal finish. Intense but balanced. Nice brew.

May 12, 2009 Updated: Oct 30, 2009Bottle at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum. Pours a clear red amber. Prune, plums, and other barleywine-esque notes. Thin to medium bodied and wow… tons of carbonation. Flavors follow the nose mostly, plums, prunes, dark fruits. Finishes with a light bitterness. Original score: 737314
Rerate:
Bottle at the release of Flaming Fury courtesy of Dennis. Pours a murky but slightly clear brown with a thin white head. Plum and prune, sweet vanilla and wood. At first sniff this wasn’t all that impressive, but as it warmed and opened up and became rather impressive. Long and smooth, really tasty.

Apr 25, 2009 2006 Decadence, tasted winter 2009.
Pours hazy dark brown with enormous light tan head. Head retains for an eternity, and certainly enhances the aromatics.
Nose is sour cherries with that powdery scent from a freshly opened package of marshmallows.
Palate offers soft, chewy caramel-cherry malt with no signficant hop flavors, unless of course that is the source of the cherry. Full bodied, incredibly creamy as it coats the palate, and finishes with some sourness. Alcohol is relatively muted, considering how strong it is.

Apr 11, 2009 Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom. The color is very beautiful red mahogany and the head is creamy and golden. The aroma has notes of malt, raisin, caramel and dark fruits. The mouthfeel is oily and nice. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, caramel, raisin, dark fruits and citrus in the finish. It is very harmonic and full bodied.

Apr 8, 2009 750 ml bottle picked up in Phoenix by Eric, thanks man. Pours a dark mahogany color with a awesome thick head no matter how you pour it. The aroma is great; tons of super powerful caramel malts, sweet candies, light hops, some berries maybe. The flavor is great as well; initial citrus hops with a huge caramel malt, sweet and tasty. A light mocha flavor with burnt caramel and fruit. The mouthfeel is sublime; full bodied, light fizzyness and a softness. It is very mellow, drinking a 750 was so damn easy. No alcohol noticed at all except a light warmth in the finish. Excellent. What I’ve learned to expect from AleSmith.
