Also the last beer to have the priviledge of making it into my notes...Caramel malt, alcohol, and some vinuous aromas come from a dark brown body. Flavor is the same as the aroma--and very nice--with definite alcohol presence. spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 15, 2007 2001 vintage...once again shared by OhioDad. Thanks Scott. I really enjoyed the other wine barrel aged beer from fish tale, the poseidon, and this one was very good as well. Lots of sugars, fruits, and caramels in the nose. Not much hops to speak of. The taste actually showed some signs of hops. The other flavors really melded well with the wine barrel contributions with dark fruits, and caramel malts. Really enjoyable, and I think it has held up well for being 6 or 7 years old. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2007 Batch 4, courtesy of Pailhead. Murky medium reddish-brown. Minimal head, fades to film/ring rather quickly. Hige bourbon nose, although the label stated wine barrels. Don’t get any vinous notes whatsoever. Flavor much the same, sour-mash bourbon, with huge oak/woodiness to it. As it warms continues to sour. Tad dissapointed.
