Jan 6, 2008 This brew makes me reevaluate after 1000 ratings my whole process of buying brews. Aroma very mild, a variety of soft malts, very tepid slightly sweet malt tastes,which doesn’t last long,drys out very quickly, slight bitter finish, has the sweetness of a doppel but thats it. Finishes watery. Some bourbon alcohol wafts in the end. Can’t remember what I paid for this,but whatever it was way over priced. The fact that I see a cork on this very average brew,with a wire restraint,and a super premium price makes me resolve that I wont pay more then 5 bucks for a brew (certain breweries exempted),unless I see a 95+ rating here

Jan 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Aroma is sweet candy sugar maltiness. Taste has chocolate with roast malts. This beer is a great idea and I love that the recipe is online, but there’s really nothing special about it. Decent beer, but I’m not begging my friend that homebrews to make it.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear orange-amber with a spare diminishing off-white head. Malty aroma along with toffee, sweet fruit and some alcohol. Flavour: The alcohol hits me first followed by tart fruit, caramel malt, notes of whisky and quite a bit of hops in the finish. Medium bodied. It’s alright.

Jan 1, 2008 Updated: Jan 2, 2008Pours red-copper color with a thick, beige head. Aroma has sweet malt and some fruitiness. There’s a rich malt flavor with citrus hoppiness underneath for a nice balance. Slight alcohol, sherry-like flavor with a sticky mouth feel. Nicely balanced.

Dec 27, 2007 Hazy amber, moderate to small head, some lacing and retention. Aroma is light toast, bread, caramel, hops. Medium bodied, alcohol hidden well. Somewhat sweet, extremely overpriced for what it is.

Dec 23, 2007 Another whiskey aged brew. Pours old penny dark copper w/ a tall, lasting head. Reduces slowly leaving sticky snail tracks finally resting to a fluffy, spattered canopy. Strong aromas of dark malts w/ a pungent acidity. Full nectar w/ soft residual effers. The texture is a bit oily and very slick. It just glides around effortlessly. A big malty backbone susstains the hive as sweet decadent darkfruit nuances dance. Blackcherry, peach, plumb, grapes, melon rind, leather, alcohol, and a touch of herb. The finish is bittered w/ peachpit that really does the job keeping me on pace. This brew is well made w/ a royal pedigre. The hops show on the finish w/ some citrus rind. This brew is very strongly flvored w/ a generous disposition. Rich and chewy w/ gummy fruit candy. Quite hopped up for a DB. Another underrated beer.
