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.

Mar 7, 2009 [Vintage 2007] Tap @ Barleywine and Big Beer Fest... Poured a dark burgundy with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast and diary-like, candy sugars. Mildly carbonated palate. A lot of cocoa flavors and rich malt characters and some ash or chalky flavors. It had gotten a little dry towards the finish.

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.

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