| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 22, 2009 not sure of the age... prolly around a year.
reddish orange pour with a thin off white head.
the nose is really grainy and sweet... other notes of orange, flowers and alcohol stingy are kicking around as well.
the palate is thick though just shy of cloying... i guess that helps keep the alcohol under control... flavors noted of perfume, orange, grapefruit, caramel, loads of grainy sweetness, raisins and perhaps some nutty chocolate with a surprisingly dry finish.
thick, syrupy mouth feel makes it hard for me to finish a bottle alone...7/3/7/2.5/15/3.45 Ryan82SM (241), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Aroma of roasted toffee, ripe apple and caramel. Appearance is reddish gold with off white head. Flavor is pretty boozy, with some caramel and toffee flavors, perhaps raisins as well. Palate is aggressively lively and nearly painful, but also bubbly. A demanding beer meant to be consumed on it’s own. thirdeye11 (530), Texas, USA
