Dec 16, 2005 Growler from rudolf. Fiery amber color with a thinner beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, some molasses and toffee. Flavor is up front but its a bit boozy and some astringency creeps in. Medium to full bodied, kind of hot. Nice beer but this one needs a bit of time to smooth out the rough edges.

Dec 14, 2005 Sample at DougShoemaker’s 2005 December gathering - growler courtesy of rudolf. Reddiah-amber with a tight of-white head. Aroma has a very nice mixture of sweet and smoky notes. Flavour is like a peaty single malt, with some lingering caramel/butterscotch notes, and a dry finish. Quite a nice beer.

Dec 14, 2005 Shared at Yeha. Aroma was heavy caramel with some citrus. There was no head and the beer had a cloudy amber/copper color. Taste was of caramel and some hops. This was a very good beer.

Dec 12, 2005 I don’t know what possessed me to spend $17 on this one, must have been that cool looking label. 2000 Vintage with the thickest wax I’ve ever seen Took at least 5 minutes to dig through! Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, dark cherries, light alcohol and somewhat vinous. Very nice aroma. Tastes a little bit of a let down any showed signs of its age with tastes of caramel, fruits, alcohol and wine (all on the weaker side).

Dec 12, 2005 2000 vintage at the Yeha. Poured a cloudy amber with a white head. Strong aroma of caramel, citrus fruits and some alcohol. Taste is some fruit and caramel with a dash of cinnamon, leading to a dry yeasty finish. Flavor could have been a tad more pronounced but a nice barley wine.

Dec 11, 2005 Bottle at Rich’s 2005 YeHa. I do not recall who brought this vintage 2000 bottle, but thank you. Vinous, fruity, nice barelywine-like aroma with a slight candy sweetness present in the nose. Mildly hazy copper colored body with a smallish yellow/tan head. Sweet, caramelly toffee-like start which then turns more vinous in the middle. Finishes with a minute bitterness. The hops have faded, which isn’t a bad thing. Could use a bit more of the sweeter malts. Body is a bit dry for my liking.
