Jun 29, 2009 i really enjoyed this beer and i think in about 2 years it is going to be absolutely stunning. great amber color with a thick head. the nose is full of berries, vanilla, maple syrup with a touch of peat moss and oak. the palate carries the same profile and is very smooth.

Jun 28, 2009 A dark amber with little pearl head; Aromas of smoke malt, caramel, and alcohol; the juniper berries mesh well with the oak, PEAT, a lot of maple syrup(very sticky) and lots of alcohol, I didn’t notice much vanilla as expected (vanillin at best-between oak and alcohol). Medium-full body (lots of alcohol) take your time on this one, might notice some more as it warms!!!

Jun 23, 2009 poured a nice thick dark brown letting off a faintly sweet caramel odour . rich mouthfeel with adequate carbonation and a consistent head with soft vanilla notes and oak and hops at the finish .really smooth and oak balance ,definitely one of the greats

Jun 22, 2009 Pour was a nice dark amber color. Sweet aroma that mirrors the taste without letting onto the flavors behind it to much. Quite possible the most complex beer I have had. I finished the first drink and knew that there were flavors I missed in there. Primarily a vanilla maple mixture with hints of other flavors floating around. Enough carbonation to tickle the tongue, the medium body feels smooth throughout. I really enjoyed exploring this beer.

Jun 21, 2009 351 mL bottle, aged one year. Bronze with a small, quickly receding head. Aroma is interesting - fresh cut wood, brown sugar, raisin pie, and maple. Big flavour, again with the maple up front, Scotch/smoke, dried fruit, burnt caramel. Don’t get the vanilla. The hops that are absent in the aroma lend their bitterness to the flavour. Strong alcohol burn as it goes down, although the alcohol doesn’t show in the flavour before the finish. This must have been insane when fresh. I’ll have to see what another year in the cellar does for it.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle. Poured a red brown with a tan head. Aroma of oak, vanilla, dark fruits and a light alcohol backing. The flavor of oak, cherry, fig, vanilla, and a hint of smoke. Medium to full body, sweet, light smoke aftertaste, slight warming. Nice!

Jun 14, 2009 Dark amber pour with light tand head. Malty aroma with alcohol, spices, notes of something sweet. Taste is malty, sweet, alcohol. I wouldn’t call it harsh, but I would like to get another bottle to age for a year. Little lacing. As it warms, you also get notes of wood and smoke. A good and complex beer to enjoy.
