Brouwers Hard Liver Festival 2009. 2008 Vintage. Dark amber pour with a smooth off-white head. Smooth with a soft vanilla note to the caramel body. The alcohol was still a touch excessive, I think this would age really well.
Earlier Rating: 12/14/2007 Total Score: 3.1
Pours dark cherry brown with almost no head, very small soapy head that doesn’t stay long. This beer was very flat, although a very nice taste to it, it would have been greatly improved with more carbonation. Sweet caramel flavor up front, fruity red grape, fig, rum cake, and a well balanced hop finish. The alcohol is hidden well and the flavors are great, just the lack of carbonation hurt it.

Nov 19, 2009 Bottle (2006) … Murky, singed caramel-colored ale with a small, creamy, beige head. Excellent retention. The nose is of sweet caramel and brown sugar with an additional note of fallen wood. Full-bodied with a dry mouthfeel and dancing carbonation. The flavor is sweet and caramely, but also moderately acidic. Finishes tangy, sweet, and then bone-dry. Bottle courtesy of Skyview!

Nov 7, 2009 750 ml bottle thanks to Eric, the last brew of the night. I was perhaps a bit tipsy by this point, but anyway. Bottle number 915/1800. Pours a cloudy red color with a huge beige head. The nose is sweet, light malts and barrel. The flavor was warm; light fruit, spices, caramel, not very hoppy. An interesting brew.
