goldtwins (3672), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a lightly hazed chestnut color with an off-white head. The aroma had a sweet start with light fruity malt. The flavor was full of toffee malt with an earthy and piny hop finish. Mild-moderate bitterness. Medium body. Semi-dry finish with some warmth. BeerandBlues2 (2379), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 21, 2007 GABF ’07. Pours clear, brown with a spare, fizzy, light brown head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (toasted grain, cereal, meal), average hops (herbs, grass), average yeast (sweat, earth) with notes of pear and brown sugar. Medium bodied, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2007 Date: 10/13/2007

bu11zeye (3573), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 19, 2007 (Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with an average beige head. Aroma of sourness, mustiness, dirty sock, and caramel. Flavor of caramel, nuts, and light fruitiness. jimbowood (701), Athens, Georgia, USA Oct 15, 2007 GABF 2007. A smooth, chocolatey palate. Reminiscent of Iron Hill Old Ale. A nice change of pace from the IIPA and imp stout overload of the fest. Very good.
