Dec 10, 2006 Bottle from Santa. Dark ruby color with no head. Dark fruit malty aroma. Very malty and sweet with slight alcolol presents. The taste was of raisins and plums with slight bitter aftertaste. As it warms the alcohol becomes more pronounced. High octane brew.

Dec 9, 2006 Cloudy brownish orange, no head. Very nice aroma - caramel, toffee, maple, peppery, perhaps some hints of fresh bread, too. Surprisingly thin bodies - raisin, rum, molassess, some honeyn then a resiny, piney finish. More alcohol in the finish, too. Thanks to Silphium for the trade!

Nov 22, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with Pailhead. Aroma: Toffee and vanilla. Tea. Some light woodiness. A bit of fig and berries. A bit more hops then I was expecting, but pleasant. Alcohol is noticeable and a bit hot in the nose. Appearance: Dark reddish brown in color. Light beige head was medium sized and creamy, but didn’t last long. Nice lacing. Flavor: Sweet malt with some big toffee and brown sugar notes. Some dark fruits, mostly figs. Geting some light woodiness in the middle. A nice lightly spicy yeast presence throughout. A decent hop bite into the finish. Alcohol is not hidden and again is a bit hot at times. Palate: Full bodied and smooth. Moderate carbonation. Strong alcohol warming over entire mouth and down throat. Overall: A good brew. Alcohol should be toned down a bit to make it better.

Nov 9, 2006 THis was right in the middle of the pack for the old ale blind tasting. Thanks to Clark for sharing. Nice color- deep bronzy with a nice head. Aroma is more to the hoppy side especiallly compared to the other old ales- almost becomes solvent-like. Sugary sweet flavor with some caramel, toffee and nuts and a light hoppy finish. Light peppery spice in the end- probably due to the apparent alcohol. Not sure what year or abv this was?
