Aug 6, 2009 Bottle. Dark amber brown pour, little carbonation and a nice light whiskey and vanilla aroma. Flavor was also that of whiskey, malt, wood and finished with some alcohol heat and oaky. Not bad.

Aug 6, 2009 Tap, Reddish color ale. Old style beer, can taste the alcohol, it is a 9.8% beer, but it has the feel of a higher percentage. It has a very harsh flavor that comes with the traditional style that it is brewed in. Founders has impressed me with several beers before, however this is not my favorite style, but it’s merely personal preference not reflecting poorly on Founders.

Aug 4, 2009 Brick Store - This is what I would consider a dead on example of a beer made in a very traditional old style. This beer tastes aged for one, but it is also reminiscent of a very rough, unfinished style like it would have been made without advancements in technology. You can really smell the grains, and a large amount of heat from the alcohol. Thick and chewy, with some earthy woody notes. Very nice and unique

Aug 3, 2009 #490 for this beer,12oz bottle, courtesy of shawnm213, thanks man. Kind of a medium dark red color, some copper as well. The head was rather thin, a bit off-white in color. Sweet ripe fruits and a little caramelly maltiness, very rich. First off, this was pretty smooth initially, but it did have a pretty big alcohol bite on the tongue, slightly bitter, pretty good.

Aug 2, 2009 Bottle. Muddy brown, like dirty river water. The aroma goes with that description -- exceptionally sour and dirty. Wow, this has a strong flavor -- like furniture polish. Exceptionally malty, and bordering on the sour, this is for the accustomed palate only. (#3625, 8/2/2009)

Aug 1, 2009 On tap at MBG Summer Festival. Poured a reddish hazy amber with a light brown head. Aroma was sweet throughout with barley notes. Began with sweet malts but dark notes as well as alcohol grew throughout. Quite thick on the tongue,

Aug 1, 2009 The aroma is strong of grain and you can smell the alcohol (seeing as this beer is 9.8% ABV that is normal). The color is almost red and the when poured there is a very small head that disappears almost immediately. It is sweet with a bitter finish but not as bitter of a finish as in stouts. Overall good beer and another reason I am happy to have Founders in town.

Jul 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from Founders. I love founders so its fitting that this is my 100 beer rating. Pours a dark orange color, almost brown. Aroma is very good I smell the alcohol, some barley, and some fruit hints. Taste sweet yet spicy. I’m feeling the alcohol in this one. It is very good.
