Apr 30, 2007 Shared by sprinkle at DLD. Was a hazy goldish color with a white head. Aroma was a little oak and yeasty and slight sourness. Had the most incredible balance of flavors. Pretty easy to see why this is so highly rated.

Apr 30, 2007 Bottle shared by Sprinkle @ DLD: Poured hazy gold with a white head. Aroma, yeast, oak, some spices, and a bit of fruit. Flavor, oak, yeasty notes, some floral qualities, spices. Medium to full bodied, just amazing. And I’m very glad I was lucky enough to try it.

Apr 29, 2007 HUGE thanks to Sprinkle! Thanks Mike!!!! And oh yeah Thanks Mike!! Now onto the beer...I never thought I would get the chance to try this brew but now that I was lucky enough to I have to say it lived up to the hype and everything I thought it would be...even after almost 7or 8 years of age on it. The aroma was great of belgian yeast, wine, grapes, figs, fruits, and canided sugars. The palate was great with a little bit of carbonation and a dry finish. Alcohol was not noticeable at all! Highly enjoyable!

Apr 29, 2007 Bottle shared at DLD by Sprinkle!! - Thanks!! - Pours amber with a short white head. Aromas of good brown sugar, pears, apples, and some bready notes. Flavor is bready with spice, pear, brown sugar, apple, honey, and I think even a touch of molasses. Smooth soft palate with a great dry finish!! Very happy to have had a chance to try this one..

Mar 9, 2007 I’ve had this beer saved for 3 years and finally decided to drink it for #1000. Opaque red color with a small off-white head. Aromas of vanilla, fruit, wood, yeast, sweetness and sour. Flavor is very fruity, with some sweetness and sour. More complex than I can describe, but all the flavors are well balanced.

Mar 6, 2007 Had this beer a few times...once for only $18 at the Hopleaf in Chicago!! This is one of the best beers we have ever tasted. The sweetness is simply incredible combined with the cask flavor. It’s better than a fine port in its complex fruit flavors and spiciness. We have probably shared a bottle with Humulone Red about every year since it was made and it has staying power, even with a bit of oxidation (which actually adds some nuttiness that is very nice). It was great when it was younger and it’s been great each time. Excellent beer.
