Apr 16, 2007 On tap at the 10th Annual San Diego Strong Ale Festival: Pours a deep mahogany ruby with a frothy, pillowy tan head. Sweet, sticky caramel malty toffee aroma has some light fruity notes. Body starts full and sweet with some caramel and brown sugar complexity toward a warming, bittersweet earthy finish. Could use more balance.

Feb 17, 2006 Draft at PP Strong Ale Fest ’05. Kinda dark copper pour. Fruity old-ale aroma. Malty flavors, some sweet caramel, fairly fruity still, and maybe a little musty.

Dec 19, 2005 <b>9th Annual San Diego Strong Ale Fest:</b> Slightly amber with no head. Sweet fruity malt. Apricots. Big on the fruit. Malty flavors. Brown sugar and toffee. Light hop background. Creamy and full. Nice mouthfeel.

Aug 22, 2005 I also had it at pizza port in san clemente. Nutty and sweet, tastes a bit like cider and caramel. Full bodied, light carbonation, no head.
