pepperford (115), robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA Jan 30, 2008 A darkish red/brown color, with a slight yellowy/tan head. The aromas of sweet molassas, malt and citrus come thru. The flavors of dark cherries, malt, and spice, with an extra kick of sweetness just when you thought it was over. The sweetness gets to be a bit much if you get to a second bottle. Maybe I should try it during the warmer months. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jan 29, 2008 2003 vintage in the bomber bottle. Pours a mixture of purple, amber and red. Only a thin yellow-ish off-white head could be mustered up. This has a FANTASTIC aroma of caramels, BIG molasses, and stick candy. The flavors were quite medicinal, much like cough syrup, but moderated with the sweetness of hard candy. Bananas and lots of heat. The finish cannot subdue the big alcohol even though the beer is substantially thick. In my opinion, aging this beer for 5 years was a brilliant move on my part. If you are sitting on a bottle of this from 2003, drink up, my friend. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Jan 28, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a small tight off white head. Thick malty hard candy aroma with a hint of vanilla. Thick malty taste and very sweet. Strong of alcohol but a little too much sweetness for me to handle. daniellerose7 (119), new york, New York, USA Jan 28, 2008 YUM! A delicious beer that definitely should be enjoyed with some delicious food... I enjoyed some Dutch caramel wafers with this, and that was great! Very thick and sweet. I likey! apshah99 (137), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 27, 2008 Dark orange gold in color, small head. Sweet syrupy alcoholic aroma with cloves and banana. Sweet malty candy taste with citrus fruit. Alcohol is very present, clean aftertaste. Nice beer. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Jan 27, 2008 Poured a dark orange from a 22 oz bottle. A strong aroma of alcohol with a candy sugar smell. Fruity taste with banana being most dominant. It is quite sweet with a little bit of a bitter taste. Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Jan 26, 2008 Strong boozy taste. Basically tastes like somebody threw in a shot of cheap whiskey. Too sweet, sugary, syrupy. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 26, 2008 22 0z. bottle in trappist glass, pours a reddish golden brown with small head and no lacing, alochol is not overpowering and has lots of molasses, fruit cake like flavors, big beer from Avery, nice
