Dec 18, 2005 Draught at D’s Six Pack. Light aroma of herbs, spices. Ginger and nutmeg, pine cones, raw buckwheat honey comb ripped from the tree. Sweet malt & floral spicy hops. Dark reddish-black clear with thin off-white head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts dry and roasty with mild malt sweetness. Light roasted bitterness and ginger-nutmeg blend. Finish is crisp and dry, with nutty dry bitterness. After is herbal and spicy, with a perfumed soapy note. The aroma and taste gets better as it warms. Seemed a little stale, so maybe it doesn’t age that well?

Nov 24, 2005 Recieved as a bonus in a trade with Kevin. Poured with no head topping the dark brown and ruby body. The aroma was bread and ginger with cinnamon and apples. The taste is light and smooth with a base of caramel and milk chocolate. Then you get the spicy ginger and warm peaches backign up the base. Nicely done.

Nov 23, 2005 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Taste shows definite signs of oxidation with heavy cardboard and celery notes present. If this is how these hold up over time, I’m amazed people are cellaring them.

Nov 8, 2005 Bottle. Thanks to Bob Mack for keeping this classic for me. Pours a mahogany brown with a thin dark tan head. Just a little carbonation. The aroma is full of raisins and malt. Very smooth taste, with a bit of malt and some mystery spices. Very clean on the palate. A nice beer, superior to the 2004, but I still look forward to 05’s version.
