This was exquisite! That fresh out of the oven aroma that I love, just like mom used to make! The aroma just lingers once the bottle is popped. Lots of fruits, light and dark, running the gamut from apricots and oranges to cherries, figs and prunes. A very nice hop presence, that cuts through the malt like a hot knife through butter. There is also alot of great earthy character here too, oak and pine needles, with some peaty mossy tastes in the finish. The alchohol is very present but never makes it over the top, just enough to satisfy. This was great, thanks Buck_Dich!

Pours a nice brown amber with small floaties - lightly hazy. An impressive, staying, light-beige creamy head. Super aroma. Oak, toffee, vinious, pine, milky chocolate and a hell of a lot of nuts. Some nougat. Super creamy mouthfeel with fine, low carbonation. Good flavour, but never as impressive as the aroma. Nuts, vinious notes, pretty sweet. Some chocolate creeps in again with dark, dried fruits. Fine, dry hoppiness. Hazel, walnuts, oak and roasted toffee. Very delicious, though it may be just a tad too sweet.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle at the September Houston RB tasting. 2005 version. Dark copper, woody sweet nose. Very sweet, alcoholic, whiskey taste. Body is surprisingly light but viscous. Goes down very easy with just a bit of fading on the end. Nice beer to share.

Sep 9, 2008 Shared by bleeng at the September Houston Tasting. 2005 bottle. Pour is a mucky sand brown with a thin head. Aroma of honey and woody notes. Flavor is sweet, oaky malts with some hops. Creamy, light body with soft carbonation. Good now, but would liked to have tried fresh to see the difference.
