ajm (902), Los Angeles, California, USA Nov 1, 2009 Bottle from Hi Time Wine. Not nearly old enough, and I knew that would probably be the case when I opened it. Fool. Nose is tart but dark malt, color is a nice deep maroon with ruby flecks. Flavor is sort of an ASA burn with fruit, middling malt, dark amber flavors. Meh. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA Oct 13, 2009 This as good as it get when it comes to delicious high quality complex beer. There is a lot going on here. It just tastes great. Smells great and looks great. It has a background coconut flavor that is incredible. This should have a 100 rating. Has a tinge of sour that is beautiful. Friggin tasty. This beer has changed my mind about organic beers. Deep cherry amber color. Malt madness. Yeah Baby! Will buy this again and keep for special occasion. tmoreau (527), Lombard, Illinois, USA Oct 4, 2009 Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting for Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. The pour to my wine/sampler glass was a brownish amber with an off white, foamy head and clingy spots of lacing. The aroma was malty, brown sugar sweetness, and dried fruit. The flavor continued the malt sweetness with warming alcohol and moderate hop bitterness. A good, potent sipper. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA Oct 1, 2009 Bottle shared by DuffmanSW. Pours a clear mahogany with a foamy tan head. Aroma is caramel and a metric boatlad of floral hops. Simple yet effective. Flavor is roast, some oxidized caramel, moderately bitter and sweet and a citrusy finish. Chewy with medium carbonation. Tripplebrew (486), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 24, 2009 Pours a clear nutty amber with white head. Aroma is very yeasty with sugars. Flavor is very nutty, raisin notes and citrus. Body is creamy with mild carbonation. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Sep 22, 2009 bottle thanks to my brother. dark amber with a white head. nose is dried fruits, light hops and mangos. nice thickness with a slight citrusy hop flavor that finishes with a hint of caramel. Collint (452), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Sep 21, 2009 Bottle, pours a deep red brown color. Aroma is scottish like an Old Chub. Flavor reminds me of an exact copy of a scottish ale. Alcohol is well hidden. Thanks you Jamie for this birthday beer!!! WisconsinBeer (514), St Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 12, 2009 Tap, Autumn Brew Review 09. Pours a deep orange color, minimal head.
