Jul 13, 2006 Light brown with off-white quickly-fading head. Nose of vanilla and fruits. Flavor is initially tart/sour fruits with cherries predominating, caramel maltiness, followed by an alcohol burn on the tonsils. Pretty impressive.

Jul 9, 2006 Had this a few weeks ago, while at the pool. Nose of dried fruit & berries; malt, spices &
a hint of alcohol. Pours a sparkling hazy walnut with amber highlights. The frothy blonde
head is immediately diminishing. The very sweet flavor is mostly caramel with moderate
acidity. The warm alcohol middle finishes sweet and tangy. The full body is fizzy and
syrupy with a cloying feel to the finish.

Jul 9, 2006 Very nice drink. Light brown with reddish highlighting, it has a an aroma of berries and cherries, caramel, vanilla, oak, and alcohol. Very smooth to drink despite its impressive abv. The flavor was sweet and malty, warm with alcohol, and rife with slightly tart fruit. It finishes sweet with a surprisingly light alcohol burn. Nice, indeed. <font size=-4>Enjoyed with Matt & Andrew from Flossmoor Station, dm9831, and RAYBOY01 ---thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 size=-1>

Jul 5, 2006 Thanks to whoever brought this beer to kp’s Cellar Party. A nice amber/brown pour with an aroma of fruit, sweet malt and yeast. A nice sweet flavor with the taste of alcohol at the end. A smooth easy texture. This beer was a true pleasure. I love a beer with a sweet flavor and a hint of alcohol to close the deal.

Jul 1, 2006 Translucent mahogany brown w/ brown foam. Sweet, toasty, caramel aroma w/ notes of fruit (peach, banana), pepper (alcohol) & licorice. Medium, moderately effervescent feel. Relatively complex malty flavour w/ a fruity, vinous quality & spicy, peppery edge.

Jun 28, 2006 I’ve had a few tastes of this over the past week and found it to be too alcoholic in flavor. Has the similar feel and appearance as other alesmiths but not very memorable.

Jun 28, 2006 Pours nearly flat from the 750ml bottle. Smell is yeasty fruit and fig (is that a fruit too?). Looks nice, with little specks of brewer’s yeast floatin’ ’round. Taste is surprisingly mellow (2006 bottling). Palate is sticky. For my first Alesmith offering (finally available around me), I was unfortunately not terribly impressed. Guess that’s what happens with huge expectations. Next up, Speedway Stout, but not tonight.
