Nov 19, 2007 Pours a dark ruby with a large tan head. Lots of grapefruit and pine in the nose, with a good bit of malts as well. Taste is similar with pepper thrown in along with a bit of burnt cherry and fish sauce. Not too thin, but not chewy. Very balanced with a nice long finish. Reminds me of sitting in front of a fire in the fall, with winter well on its way.

Sep 8, 2007 On tap @ Live Wire. Super nice looking brown head with a big old tan head. Aroma is hoppy with hints of brown sugar. Flavor is an interesting marriage between a strong amber ale and a belgian dubble. Very good. Im a big fan of Avery products.

Aug 2, 2007 Bottle. Moderate malt notes of roastiness and molasses and hop notes of resin and orange with a light dough aroma and raisin, cherry, smoke and plenty of alcohol in the background. It has a frothy light brown head with excellent lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is a murky brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic and finishes moderately bitter and a bit acetic and salty. Palate is medium and texture actually feels oily and dry at the same time. The carbonation is fizzy and finishes astingent, alcoholic and very dry. Balance in both aroma and taste is what does it for me with this beer.

Jun 2, 2007 Bomber. Poured a stout-like dark brown with a large bumpy tan head. Aroma initally like red licorice or "good-n-plenty" which slowly developed into molasses, dark fruit (plum, prune, cherry), earth and piney hops. Flavor of dark roast coffee and molasses malts, with some dried black cherry, prune, raisin, wood, cocoa butter, earth and resin hops. Granted, an unseasonable choice for the hot weather--I’d be loving this way more in the winter. Complex and definitely quirky.

May 3, 2009 Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout! Thanks Butters for letting me choose what I wanted for this 400th rating. Pours a lacing, tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of molasses, dark bread, citrus, spice hops, ginger, and alcohol. Flavors the same but with some vanilla notes. The alcohol, hops, and sweetness are balanced very well.
