Jan 3, 2007 22oz bottle pours dark copper with a thick rocky tan head that stays very well and laces in big sheets. Aromas of nice pine and grapefruit hops over some good caramel malts with a touch of sourdough bread. Flavor is good pine and grapefruit but also a lot of pineapple and orange flavors as well. Some caramel backbone to hold it all together. Palate is very barleywine like.. Good body and smooth. I couldn’t find any alcohol in this one... Another fantastic brew by Alesmith.. This brewer never disappoints!

Feb 16, 2007 Pours a clear amberish copper with a dense light brown head. The aroma is balanced between the hoppish qualities of pine, grapefruit, and floral and the maltiness of caramel. Flavor has a caramel maltiness along with a pronunced grapefruit flavor. The beer is full bodied.

Nov 9, 2009 Had this out of a bottle aged one year. Has a dark brown color. Aroma is of hops, pine, and a milky kind of undertone. Taste is full of hops, dried fruit, and malts. Has a nice and smooth hoppy aftertaste. Great stuff!

Jul 7, 2007 Bottle shared by mreusch at the csbosox tasting 7/3. Pours a cloudy caramel brown with a small tan head. Sweet candied hops and caramel on the nose; quite nice. Medium-bodied and creamy with a nice sweet/bitter finish. The flavor follows the nose with caramel and sweet, candied hops leading to a mildly dry and bitter finish. This is a very tasty beer. Thanks again for sharing this one, Matt!

May 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle. Pours a musky caramel color, with a flirty wisp of white head, with tons of lacing. Big floral hops in the aroma, mostly grapefruit and other citrus. Big helping of vanilla and malty goodness, too. Flavor-wise, malt hits first, with big biscuit flavors. Hop comes through in the end, with a nice floral kick. Sticky mouthfeel, soft and creamy finish. As easy to drink as a 9.5% beer can get.
