Apr 11, 2007 Growler of 2007: Pours a light amber in color with a small, white head. Slightly metallic aroma, citrusy hops. Bit of metal present in the flavor as well: dark, malty and slightly bitter. A bit of a vinous presence as it warms, similar to a dry chardonnay, but still not as complex as I would like. Probably needs to age.

Apr 10, 2007 Aroma was of citrus, hops, and lots of alcohol. From the smell it seemed like was going to be strong. Surprisingly it wasn’t like bad. It started off citrusy and had the alcohol finish. Not bad.

Apr 5, 2007 Tasted 2007-03-27. 2 years old bottle, 33 cl. Clear dark orange/red colour with off-white head. Aroma of hops, toffee and flowers. Surprisingly round taste of hops, burned sugar and grass. Alcohol very well hidden. I think this should be aged longer, but it’s quite good already!

Apr 3, 2007 Bottled. (vintage 2005) Pours a clear, copper with some carbonation resulting in a minimal beige rim of foam. One can smell the hops and alcohol, and it has beef-stock, citrus and some pine and herbal notes. It has a full, warming mouthfeel with flavors of beef-stock, alcohol, pronounced hoppiness, pine and citrus-notes. There’s also a good dash of sweetness present all the way. Long, piny, hoppy and alcohol finish. A really lovely beer as a night-cap, not the best choice for a drinking session. The alcohol is quite present, but not in an unpleasant way, still it would be nice to have it a bit rounded off, so maybe some more years of cellaring would do the trick. (070403)

Apr 2, 2007 2006 Bottle. Pour is dark brown with a quickly disappearing tan head. Aroma is dried fruit, malt and alcohol. Taste is dried fruits again, bubbly and solid malt. Their is a fairly strong alcohol finish, but not as much as I was expecting from the aroma. Agree with other raters, I should have cellared this one.

Mar 30, 2007 From a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a dark copper huead brew with a tall off-white head and a spicey aroma. Tastewise, it has a very sharp flavor, not as balanced as Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, but still not bad.

Mar 25, 2007 From Immy via trade. Thank you dark wizard for your gifts. I get the feeling I should have cellared this one for a year and drank this next March. Seemed very raw. Pour was a rich copper color with a two-finger plus head that was off-white. The aroma was raisins, prunes and alcohol. The flavor was sweet, almost sugary malt, with the alcohol only barely held in check by some citrusy hops. The hops helped give this young brew a fairly succinct finish. Thanks again Immy!
