750, capped. Thanks, Foolish Mortal! Great stuff. Dense, murky dark brown with light swirling gray film atop. No lace. Huge sweet brown sugar, brown bread, caramel on the nose, along with nuts and graham crackers. Medium body, light carb. Very delicate mid-palate, given the hefty look and beefy nose. Some caramel and toast flowing into a light spicy hop finish.

Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, heavy hoppy, grass, orange. Flavor is moderate to heavey sweet and bitter with a long to average duration.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle, thx to Dedollewaitor. It pours an unclear, amber body under a dense beige head. Sugary-sweet on the nose, with beefstock and piney, resiny and tropical-fruity hops. The flavor is sweet and malty too, with beefstock, some spicyness and piney hops giving decent bitterness. Full-bodied, almost sticky, slightly warming and effervescent. Bitter end. A lovely and demanding beer combining sweetness, warmth and bitterness nicely. (080823)

Oct 25, 2008 Bottle poured into a Maudite snifter produced a finger worth of off white head that goes to a thick lace. All this is on top of a blood read body ale
The aromas are very malt forward the hops are all but gone now from the nose. What is left is a lot of dark fruits and spice in the aromas
The flavor of sweet malt and dark fruits bust right out of this one. A great smooth sipper really enjoyable
I drink this again if it was around but I don’t expect to see it anymore. great drinking experience all around

Oct 19, 2008 Shared between two. By the time we got to the bottom, oh man. So good but very strong. Had a hint of wood funky almost sour but more on the sweet fruity side. Rich body with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. Taste also has a pleasant almond taste. I really enjoyed this one.
