| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Pours a beautiful dark red copper color with a huge tan head. Nose is mostly malt with some hop notes. Very creamy and smooth on the palate. Sweet taste of malt, molasses and carmel. Very cloying beer that pairs well with nuts and cheese but stands well on its own. hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 31, 2009 2008 bottle...
pours a clear bright coppery brown capped by a large orange tinted light brown head.
big ol’ yeasty nose reminds me of home made raisin bread... yeast, raisins, cinnamon and other warm spices, caramel and malt.
the flavor is the same... very doughy with a dry nearly bitter finish. nicely balanced with a long finish and aftertaste.
the medium body is quite creamy and rich yet easy to put away. if it weren’t 8.5% i would drink it all day. 7/3/7/4/16/3.7 SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
