Thick orange amber brown with a decent ivory creamy head. Smell is sweet dough and alcohol and maybe a hint of raisins. Flavor is caramel, alcohol and malty alcohol. Thick with a medium body. Overall just too boozy and not balanced.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle, thanks to after4ever! I’m cleaning out the office today, and found yet another ancient tasting note. Pours hazy copper with an off-white ring of foam. Caramel and oxidized apple nose. The taste is mostly caramel and bread until some smoke and spice show up in the finish.

Pours rich maroonish brown with a light beige head. Smell is oddly tart and sweet, soy sauce laden malt. Taste is slightly tart, with a milder flavor than the nose, which is good, considering I’m repulsed by the smell. Toasty, tart malt with a bit of an Oktoberfest like feel to the malt, and perhaps a touch warming from the alcohol. Not sure if it’s supposed to taste this way, or is just old. Medium to rich bodied with light but prickly carbonation. Not a badly made beer, just not for me.
