Big thanks to jjpm74 for the bottle! Looks really good, the beer in the glass is incredible. Starts strong, malty, notes of tabacco. Becomes stronger to the end, finish really scratchy, warming, modest fruity. Well balanced. Becomes better with every gulp. I’m impressed!

Jul 19, 2008 pours hazy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is heavly malty of cookies, hay, cereal, toasted malts and carmel. Flavor starts heavy sweet, and malty of dark fruit, carmel, figs and alcohol, finish is much the same a bit less sweet but hot alcohol.

Jul 14, 2008 Courtesy Rogueone. POurs a lightly hazy amber color, with pretty much no head. Smells of light bready yeast, big dark fruits, molasses, and caramel malt. Wow, didnt realize this was 15% til now. Really not huge on the alcohol presence for how big it is. Pretty good job of masking it, although it was definitely noticeable. A bit syrupy on the palate, the heavy malt presence dominated along with the alcohol. Pretty good.

Hefty amber brown thick pour with a thin creamy beige head. Smellis nice light malt. Flavor is hot and thick almost syrupy alcohol. Medium body and syrupy finish.

Jul 13, 2008 Courtesy Rogueone. Pours a murky, ruby-brown color. Aroma is dates, figs, raisins, burnt orange rind, caramel. Flavor is not sweet, as the aroma would lead you to believe. in fact, it is almost toasty. Way to drinkable for 15%.

Jul 6, 2008 2004 vintage courtesy of footbalm. Bomber pours clear copper with thin head. The aroma is rich creamy and yummy. I get creamy candy caramel, some dark fruity esters, some alcohol and a bit of vanilla. Amazing and interesting. The taste is the same as the aroma with chewy sticky maltiness, a bit of pine flavor non hop bitterness, caramel goodness and a nice warming sensation. This brew has aged greacefully. Wonderful.
