| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 26, 2004 Sweet notes of toffee and caramel are emitted by the pour. A deep mahogany body and a whipped tan head. A cornucopia, = plums, dates, raisins, figs, vanilla, a fresh loaf of honey nut wheat bread. The palate is sensational! It’s so creamy and velvety! Some spices that I can’t identify? Light notes of chocolate, a touch of nutmeg and coriander, maybe lavender? This is a sensational use of malt’s! Yeasty, bring a slender bittersweet finish…… What a great beer! I will certainly be aging a few bottles of this!
Post Note: - Reminiscent notes of a fine Tawny Port, - Enjoyed this brew to the maximum! RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA
