Dec 27, 2006 Pours out a nice orangy color with a small amount of head. Aroma was sweet. Flavor was fairly nice. It was sweet and no hops at all. You could certainly tell this brew had some age on it.

Dec 16, 2006 Bottle from Walleye obtained quite a bit ago. Saved it for the 4k-7k marathon that Oldgrown, 00cobraR, and myself were planning. Pours out a orange copper color without much of a head. Taste has some oxidation within it, but surprisingly not as much as I would have thought. Some sweet caramel flavors, but the hops are completely subsided. A good beer, certainly an interesting beer. Thank you Jim for the chance to try this very rare beer.

Nov 18, 2006 Bottle at argo0’s pre-RBSG tasting, July 2006 (courtesy artusory). Coppery sort of colour. Big, heavy, malty aroma - lots of caramel. On the palate its rather woody and not a little oxidised. More caramel malt comes through but the fruity notes that must have been much more pronounced earlier on were pretty vestigial by now. Interesting but a bit past its best in my view.

Oct 12, 2006 Got to sample this a few months ago. Thanks LeopoldStoch. Pours a hazy orange. Aroma is very subdued with some caramel malts coming through. Taste is wet cardboard, sherry, caramel malts, and a touch of hop bite at the end. I would have preferred to have this fresh.

Oct 2, 2006 Sampled at Arg0’s Pre-RBSG Tasting at his pad:
Golden amber, light haze. Notes of raisin, sherry, juicy caramel. The flavor is rich and chewy. Certain characteristics of quality beer, a bit old, questionably drinkable. Mellow. 8 years old? Sigh.

Sep 19, 2006 Thanks to Jason. Several year since this one has touch my lips and I think the time has done it well . Do we have an American Strong Old Ale category? Port, ripe dark fruit and heavy rich cream caramel course through the nose. Lightly oily liquid that thins throughout the sip. Oak, dark ripe fruit, heavy caramel and a touch of german chocolate. A hint of age, but quite refined and enjoyable.

Sep 10, 2006 A hazy orange beer with a fast dying orange head. The aroma is sweet spicy - with some notes of stale fruits - reminds me of a Belgian Ale. The flavor is very rounded with notes of caramel, malt, lots of fruit, going towards the stale towards the end. The alcohol shows of with a slight bite.
