| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2007 33 cL bottle. Dark reddish/bronze, slightly hazy with an off-white head. Aroma of dusty attic furniture (yeah, that’s right), some caramel, floral hops, light spice and apple. Flavor starts with a big presence of caramel, light brown sugar, aged malt, dust, herbal noble hops, pepper and pear. Pleasant sweetness level, satisfying dry finish. Medium/full body with lively, fine-beaded carbonation. Great lacing and head retention. Very nice beer. This was listed before a bier de garde - which I agree with much more than the current IPA listing. kmweaver (2441), Sebastopol, California, USA

Pours a murky orangish-brown color; creamy tan head with good retention and lacing. Generous, intricate aroma; fresh-cut flowers (somewhat green), green apples, caramel and biscuity. Creamy, fluffy mouthfeel: graham crackers, caramel, and slightly tannic; red fruit and a hint of chocolate. Strange, lovely beer. Medium, biscuity and toasty finish, with some chewy malts. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2007 A calm pour produces a towering crown atop a cloudy, bronze-orange body. Warm and inviting aroma of cinnamon and red apples. Almost a visceral holiday ambience. Dusty, with a sweet mash of browned bananas with a little warmth. Similar in taste. Crisp, almost papery apple peels – warm in tone like a heavy cider mulled with nutmeg and other brown spices. Grainy, earthy, with skins of pecans and walnuts. Just a hint of sweetness. Comparable to Malbec. Woody, tart and bitter in the mouth – quite dry. Fairly light texture, though lasting. Interesting. Fantastic interplay. Thanks for sharing, Jason! mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Bottle. Pours a murky orange-brown body with a creamy medium-sized white head. The aroma has pineapple, lime, and grassy hops. High carbonation and btterness - cookiesh dough flavour with some pear skins and mild toastiness. Pretty good but I found it difficult to pinpoint the specifics. goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Poured a hazy amber color with a large roacky off-white head. The aroma was citrusy and mildly tart with some yeasty dusty notes. The flavor was a mix of malt and citrusy hop. Big warming sensation for only 7.5 ABV. The finish was mild-moderately bitter and spicey. blankboy (3204), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2007 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, mds & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Vintage 2006. Pours a hazy orange-red with a large lasting off-white head. Nice aroma of yeast, spices, tart fruit, malt and some sweetness. Big yeasty flavour with herbal hops and tart fruit. Good bitter finish. A touch boozy but not enought to detract from the enjoyment. Medium bodied. This as they say, is the shit! Awesome. tupalev (2612), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Hazy murky orange/brown, small white head. Great yeasty/barnyard aroma - fruity. Great taste - yeasty, wheat, slightly bitter finish. Quenching. Top marks, another winner from these guys.
