Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of caramel and hops, as well as light notes of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, caramel, and malt, leading to a dry straw finish. A very special thanks goes out to my mystery friend at the Hood River Hops Fest who gave me this.

Draught at Rose and Raindrop, Portland. Clear nut brown. Aroma of grapefruit and mango. Sweet and really malty with rounded mouthfeel. Thick and dense English style malt character, some vanilla and US style hops: Pretty damn solid!

Dark amber colour. Big woody aroma with a nutty, boozy component. Syrupy with a bourbony character. Really sappy, sticky. Rather two-dimensional and the bourbon doesn’t work well with the malts so it all falls apart for me.

(22oz bottle, 2005 Vintage) Hazy amber body topped by a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, typical American bw smell dominated by caramel and grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, caramel, some peach, alcohol warming. Sticky, full body.
