12 ounce bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a .5 finger width tan head. The aroma consisted of a lot of caramel and apricot with other sugary fruit in the barkground. The taste was about the same as the smell with a lot of caramel coming through as the beer warmed. This was a very tasty beer, but was almost too sweet for my taste.

Crushed with Honkeybra. What matters most is how well you walk through the fire, aight? Much malt sweetness on the nose, and a awesome mouthfeel. Always impressed by doppels with a good hop presence, and that’s why I’m impressed. Very drinkable.

Crushed with thedude in Galesburg, IL at Budde’s Pizza. This is alright. Amber pour. A bit sweet and some hops. Good mouthfeel, finish is a bit dry. TheDude says 13/20, and I believe him.

Draught at GABF 2008. Cloudy amber coloured with a medium sized off white head. Malty aroma of fruits, caramel and hops. Fruity flavour of malts, caramel and hops. Hoppy finish.

Bottle from kmeves. Thanks man! Auburn pour with a thin head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel, toffee, and dark fruit. Flavors of toffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. Pretty damn sweet and malty. Smooth with a nice warming effect.
