Dec 10, 2003 Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego
The beer has a hazy and blurry brown appearance with a smallish head that is frothy in texture also a light tan color and after decomposition the lace forms a fine sealing sheet to cover the glass. Earthy aroma with sweet malt, crisp and the start malt laden and somewhat sweet, the top is middling in its feel to the palate. Finish has a bit of acidic bite with the hops pleasingly spicy and the aftertaste quite dry, a quaffable brew.

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.
