Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA 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 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 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 (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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 (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 19, 2007 Bottle shared with Blankboy, GregClow, Mds, and Hogtown Harry, Harry’s bottle. 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. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Aug 19, 2007 2006 bottle sampled on 5/23/07: Pours a hazy dark copper with a large, airy off-white head. Aroma of slightly oxidized, earthy caramel malt with some mild piny hops. Body starts with a touch of light caramel and lightly earthy bitterness balanced toward a fairly full finish. True to style, and seems to have aged fairly well. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 18, 2007 I think this beer looks better than it actually tastes. The color is light reddish brown with a cream colored head. The taste is a tad tart with some definitive herbal flavors. for the true connoisseur
