Nov 26, 2008 Bottle, served at cellar temperature. This is a beautiful transparent amber with a great, thick, long lasting head. There is plenty of cherry in the aroma, some raisin, caramel, yeast. I taste more cherry leading to orange with zest with more complex fruit sweetness, grape with skins and maybe a hint of chocolate. Finishes with plenty of pleasant bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium and wonderful with plenty of animated carbonation on the tongue. Wonderful!

Nov 21, 2008 Pours a beautiful deep copper to nearly brown colour that is a gorgeous shade of garnet when held up to a light with a finger and a half tan head that lasts a good long time and leaves lacing all over the place. Beautiful to look at. Nose is dark fruits, and grapefruity to piney hops. Flavour is initially very much the same, at first its some very resiny or piney hop flavour. There’s a strong caramel malt backing there, and it finishes a touch spicy and a little bit bitter. It’s very dry, and the carbonation is very nice, not bland and flat, but not sharp and fizzy. It’s not watery, but it’s not exactly creamy.

Nov 1, 2008 Updated: Jun 7, 2009Pours dark red-brown, big and lasting frothy head. Smell is fairly sweet, banana and malt. Taste is really rather good, a lot going on, lots of malt, banana and caramel, some other fruit, almonds, and a nice sweet malty finish. Really rather good.

Oct 29, 2008 500ml Bottle: Aroma of biscuity hops, malts, caramel, slight graham cracker, toasting, and a hint of tobacco. Quite pleasant. Poured amber in color with a small, rocky, loose, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Fully of tiny particles throughout. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter aroma. Tastes of hops, biscuit, toasting, malts, sourdough, and resin. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malty, biscuity, finish turns resinous.

Oct 26, 2008 (Bottle). Slightly fruity malt aroma. Gorgeous dark reddish body, creamy light tan head. Sweet-ish spicy malt flavor, woody and some caramel, also distinct alcohol. Finish is bitter and a little unrefined.

Oct 25, 2008 Amber color with little light brown head. The aroma is citrus like and fresh. Bitter rich taste very well balanced. I like this one.
