Sep 9, 2006 11.2 oz bottle ($2.49) from Holiday Wine Cellar: Orange-amber color with a medium off white head that fades to nothing fast. Aroma is rich ripe fruit with a metallic background. Flavor is rich with over ripe peach/apricot, some honey and a light spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation. Metallic aorma dissapaited and alcohol became more proment as it warmed.

May 16, 2007 Copper colored with a thick head. Very boozy aroma with caramel notes and maltiness. Palate is sticky with dried fruit taste and a bit of bite. Not as much going on as some doppelbocks, thus not one of my faves.

Thin amber orange in color. Smell is very subtle and muted caramel. Flavor is quite caramel-like too. Heavy and sweet and a bit "hot" too. Lots of honey and sweetness. Interesting, but not very easy to sit back and drink and enjoy. Really boozy overall.

Mar 10, 2004 A very pretty orange color with a fizzy beige head that quickly disappears. Lies still in the glass. A very sweet nose, cotton candy, port wine, wood. Wow, you know this is going to be exploding with flavor. Bam, malts all over the place, specialized malts....crystal for sure. Alcohol isn't a bit shy, it's right there like a siren tempting you to sail on to the rocky shore. Make no mistake, this is a dangerous beer, lip-smackingly sweet but packs a whollop of a punch. Why is Anchor Old Foghorn in a 7 oz bottle and this in a 12? This is THE ski lodge beer, a winter warmer that can be, no....should be shared by two people. It is like sipping brandy, definately a dessert beer. Call me a Masochist, but I like it!

Aug 18, 2007 Pours a clear amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel, plums, raisons, and alcohol. Flavor starts off pretty light, not what i was expecting at all. Starts off sweet with caramel, raisons, and plums. Pretty strong finish with plenty of alcohol warming. Has a somewhat lingering flavor. Somewhat decent beer.

Jul 6, 2005 Unusually viscous feeling in the mouth. It tastes like overripe apples and raisins. The odor is the same. Second and third swigs did not improve my feelings. Very disappointed. I let the drain sample the rest.

Apr 23, 2007 I’ll remember this one because I really needed a strong beer today. I worked the night and while trying to sleep in the morning, my wife fell while trying to paint the bathroom and I had to help paint it. Then soon as I get back to bed, my daughter in college calls saying she needs my money.(this 3 weeks after her telling me that she has plenty of money and can spend it any way she wants) Oh, the beer had a very alcoholic flavor and I did not like it very much, but it did the job and got me back to sleep.
