Jul 4, 2009 Bottle from 2007: Malty, chewy and sweet. Aromas and flavors of figs, molasses and sugar cookies. Minimal hop presence, this one is all malt. Dark, rich, glorious malts providing layers of dark fruit and roasted grain flavors. Mottled amber brown in color, minimal head and lacing. Warm and generously filling. I was surprised by the depth of this brew.

Jun 25, 2009 Dark brown with a strong tan head. Sweet aroma, almost of molasses. Big maltiness in flavour which I love with less abv than the IIPA. This is a goer for a malthead.

Jun 19, 2009 Pours ruby hued with small, quick-diminishing off-white head. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, banana, alcohol. Taste is very sweet up front and all the way through to the finish. Caramel, raisin, chocolate, sweet malt, alcohol. Alcohol is strongly present but not overwhelming enough to take away from the flavor. This is ok, a little too sweet and alcohol isn’t very well hidden.

Jun 16, 2009 Pours ruby amber with a thick tan head. Aroma is cherry, vanilla, alcohol, honeysuckle, and some nut. Taste is very roasty with sweet caramel as well then a noticeably bitter chocolate and toffee finish. Smooth texture with the alcohol hidden well. Very well made beer.
