Jun 1, 2007 Pours very dark brown with a very dense tan head. The aroma is weird and unique - tropical fruits, hops, locker room, spice, coconut and dark malt. Medium / full body with quite a bit of sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with a fruity sweetness and tropical hops (simcoe?), light roasted malt and some Belgium earthiness. The finish has spice hops, pineapple, coconut, light citrus and lots of malt. A unique and interesting beer. I hope to find this again and possibly rerate with a new perspectives.

Jun 30, 2007 Big nose of hops, pine, mountain forest, plus a smoked element in the nose (perhaps a forest fire?!). Smooth but some carbonation. Orange in the finish, some rounder citrus edges. Clear brown, some percolation in the body. Typical Avery contribution.

Aug 21, 2007 Bottled. A dark red beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of berries and spices. The flavor is sweet malt with primary notes of berries, but also a light touch of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Jul 1, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown-ruby body with a large frothy yellowish-white head and oily lace. The aroma has plenty of fruits - orange, pineapple, and some sweet bread. Oily palate with chewy hops and bitter oranges. Not overly bitter though and finishing with pineyness. Pretty good but I didn’t find it to have much complexity.

Sep 24, 2007 Bottled. RBESG.
Ruby amber colour. Metallic, maybe bit edgy hopiness. Citris/mandarine, fruity hopiness a la Simcoe in flavour. Good bitterness.

Jun 22, 2007 The aroma is lightly hopped and has some coffee. Flavor is surprisingly full bodied and has much more coffee. A black beer, fairly thick, and there is nothing in the flavor or aroma to suggest the high abv.

Sep 15, 2007 Bottle. Very dark brown body with a big foamy beige head. Weird aroma at first is an odd blend of sweet dark malt underlying strangely green hops. Dominant flavour is hoppy bitterness with a sweet sticky malt in the background. Dark, lightly fruity, light molasses character. Average to medium palate. This was actually pretty good, and the alcohol is surprisingly restrained for an Avery product, but there was a certain clashing of flavours that kept me from getting entirely comfortable with it. Perhaps a larger more contemplative sample would have had different results, I don’t know.
