Jul 17, 2009 You guys have got to be kidding. This beer rocks. Incredible potent flavor, lingering and so sippable. I just want to savor it. Tasted last week off a keg and tonight from the bottle. Very nice and if you get the chance, take it!

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle 355 ml - 2006 -14.5%
Appearance: deep murky amber-red look, mid off tanned top. 3+.
Nose: very strong oak vanilla aroma, hint of cask , amber malt with alcohol at finish.
Flavor/Palate : Mid bodied. Strong frontal drying character of alcohol. Hint of cherry wood, pit with almond topping. Bold? yeah. over the top for most drinkers. This is example of old school AVERY , bold , rough , uncompromised dry burn of hell.

Jul 2, 2009 2005 bottle. Pours caramel brown with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, raisins, some barely noticeable oakiness, some oxidation, and lots of sugary sweetness. Flavor is raisins, caramel, some mild vanilla, and no bitterness whatsoever. Likeable beer, but after so long it is not as nice as I thought it would be.

Jul 1, 2009 Nice caramel color with an off white head. Interesting aroma of fermented peaches. Very sweet, caramel, peach and plum flavors with a little oak and alcohol burn. More oak in the aftertaste. Medium carbonation. Not one I’d have every night, but interesting.

Jun 30, 2009 Aroma is smoke, rich candied malt. Hazy orange, pours a tiny white head, leaves a slight film on the side of the glass. Taste still has a slight smokiness, with fine malt, treacle and butterscotch. Full bodied, well blanced, tongue is "treating itself like an amusement park." Had this for about three years, Great stuff!

Jun 29, 2009 Bottled May, 2006, batch 2, 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy dark rust with a moderate tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left light lace. Pleasant aroma of oak, caramel, vanilla and some alcohol. The flavor is on the sweet side, which is fine for me, with oak, caramel, vanilla, oranges, and molasses all present. There is some mild heat from the alcohol towards the finish, but it does not interfere with the flavor. This one is definitely a sipper!

Jun 27, 2009 I shared a few sips of this with BeerBaron617. It’s another one of these beers that I had really high hopes for, but didn’t come through for me. Clearly with a high percent rating, I felt that it would be a tasty beverage - coupled with the fact that Avery makes a pretty good brew....but this wasn’t the case for me here. It was very hazy orange/amber in body with a dark yellow/tan head. It was incredibly dark in aroma - overpowering malts and vanilla. I tasted it and it was out of control sweet and malt. It was just too much for me. I had maybe an ounce of it and threw the rest of my glass away.

Jun 26, 2009 Clear amber body, yellowish head; Medium sized nose with lots of dense malt sweet aroma and fresh oak aroma that is not really fitting; Huge carbonation on very sweet body, it doesnt really have any depth but is still alright; Malt sugary simple sweet finish, both oak and malt syrupy aromas. Not bad at all just reallllly boring.
