Nov 21, 2006 Pours a dark red/brown with a light tan head. Very sweet up front but a big hoppy finish balances this out well. Caramel and toffee flavors up front, nice earthy rum flavor to the malts. With all the hops this will age well. Very full bodied and smooth.

Nov 18, 2006 Ruby colour with lasting head. Sweet malt aroma. Full flavour with a lasting finish that pleases. Much alcohol warmth.

Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Bend Brewing Company, Bend
Ruby color with light head & excellent lacing. Nose of great gummy bears & starburst. There’s notes of lots of sweet malts actually, nice body too. Hoppy flavors blend somewhat into the high ABV which burns burninates the palate quite aggressively.

Mar 8, 2005 Ruby with a thick, off white head and good lacing. Nice blend of hops and spice. All spice perhaps, but that doesn’t seem right. Sweet underlying caramel as well. Spices again in the flavors. I started out thinking anise, but realized it was more like tarragon. Slightly sweet licorice. Lots of malts in here. Caramel and some roast. Thick and sticky with a finish of spice and sweet caramel.
