Nov 7, 2009 Poured into awesome Welch’s jam Curious George cup. Bottle thanks to my awesome brother and split it with him. Dark brown rootbeer colored pour but more opaque. No head really but a dark tan ring. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is the same plus a bit of bitter hop background, the aftertaste and the medium body is sweet, rosey and roasted tasting. Only very slightly warming down the throat given the high abv. Such a cool idea - I love that there’s a tree in the world you can shoot with a bullet and it won’t even penetrate it.

Nov 6, 2009 Pours very dark. Aroma is not as pronounced as other brew styles. Quite thick. Not much in the way of hops, which I prefer. Very malty beer. I grabbed this one to try because it looked like a limited time only brew and I wanted to at least giveit a shot.

Nov 5, 2009 I thought this big brown beer was amazing. Off tap at their Ale House. Nice and thick, just enough hops, a very smooth flavor. I could drink this all day.

Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours deep brownish amber, with a thin, quickly diminishing tan head. Aroma of figs, raisins, plums, and hints of chocolate, toffee, bread, and malts. Smooth, creamy moutfeel with a nice warming in the finish. Overall, an outstanding strong ale, which could very well be considered a stout.

Nov 3, 2009 Sweet and spicy aroma that reminds me of carrot cake, molasses, and vanilla. Tastes better than it smells, including notes of: birch, sassafras, and espresso. Heavy body, and a pleasantly smooth aftertaste. Slight warming, and notes of alcohol present throughout.

Nov 2, 2009 almost opaque. tan head. smells of malt, milk chocolate, heavy cream. Flavor is more sweet milk chocolate, cream, pruney, with a little cherry and a wet wood really showing at the end in a strong way. Huge body with a creamy fizz. Very compelling but somewhat sludge-y.
