Jan 15, 2007 Courtesy boboski. 2001. Clear ruby/amber. Thin film of tan carbonation. Nose is lightly sweet with a strong dose of malty caramel/toffee. Flavor of a chocolate/caramel cookie and a moderate bit of hops in the second half and finish. Medium/full, balanced body. Held up very nicely over 5 years.

Dec 20, 2006 12 oz Bottle from Secret Santa.
Aroma has some yeast bread and grain on the nose at first. Some sweet caramel aroma near the finish. Dark orange body with average head for the style. Had a mild sweet fruit mixed with a caramel sugar candy flavor. Medium body to the brew which would of made this to sweet for me. Has an alcohol warning on the bottle to drink responsibly and adhear to it has an alcohol warming efect and my face feels the warming effect as I type this. Somewhat of a dry palate as expected. Smooth brew despite the high alcohol content.

Dec 19, 2006 Bottle in trade from tjthresh. Thanks Tom.
Pours a copper color with a bit of tannish head. some funky notes here right away, along with a dash of candy bar. Bit o honey or something. Syrupy brew that is thick on the tongue. Can’t figure this out as it does not represent the style.

Nov 28, 2006 Bottle from tjthresh. Poured a hazy amber/copper in my snifter. Aromas of both strong hops and strong sugars. I thought my nose felt sticky after smelling it due to the sugars. Nice hop flavor, but it is totally overpowered b the sweet malts. This is not very balanced. Nice mouthfeel, better than I expected because of all of the sugars. Sweet finish with a little hop bite.

Jun 14, 2006 12-oz. bottle from tjthresh. Pours a hazy mahagony with a small amount of tan bubbles floating on the surface for a short duration, leaving only faint hints that head ever existed. Aroma is sweet malt (caramel, straw, meal) and heavy nuttiness. Moderately bitter and acidic caramel malt, light molasses, nutty flavor, some hint of alcohol and hops, dry and burning near the end. Medium and warm bodied, dry palate.

Mar 31, 2006 22 oz bomber. Amber color with a smallish head. Aroma is pretty barleywine-ish, with caramel, tangerine, sweet grains and just a mellow hoppiness. Some wet cardboard taste but the sweet sugar covers up some of it.
