Feb 18, 2005 Pours dark brown, maybe a hint of copper. Flavor is sweet malt, with dark fruits(raisins) and a little nuttiness. Finishes with a little spiciness. Not too bad, kind of run of the mill for a xmas ale, the dog does seem to like this one.

Feb 7, 2005 Very clear and calm brown with a little red and a fairly standard head. Aroma is malty sweet while also a bit sour and wine like. Seems a little off or dirty though. Creamy feel above a malty base. Sweet malts and a little sourness in the mouth.

Feb 4, 2005 Updated: Jul 13, 2007Hows this for sweet irony? I had this at a bar on xmas night after me and some buddies had enough of the family. Realy tasty dark craft, and i drank more then a few. Judging by the puking i did that night, it explains the 7.4 APV in this. I didnt know that at the time obvioulsy! tasty and strong!

Jan 22, 2005 bottle...3rd week October 2004 bottled. Clear caramel color with little head. Musty, malty aroma. Pit fruit and alcohol also present. Malty start, burnt caramel. Decent amount of carbonation, medium body. Some bitterness to finish, also mustiness. Seems a little too funky and not as complex as I’d imagined. Alcohol is not evident.

Jan 20, 2005 Dark brown color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is malt, caramel, and sour fruit. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of sour cherry and toasty malt flavors. Hops are grapefruity. A little unbalanced and there is a trace of cardboard in the taste. Sorry, but this is a weird tasting beer, It has some barley wine like qualities as well as being sort of lambic like. Not a really good combination. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a sour fruity finish.

Jan 19, 2005 Thanks to Duane for this. Pours copper/ruby with a medium white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, toffee, some spices and florals. Tastes malty, with some fruit and spices at the finish. Nice balance. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty good.
