Jul 7, 2005 This beer is a real gem and a classic--belying its commercial parentage. Even more than Bush, this is truly a cognac beer with a strong brandy undertone present throughout. A fruity sweetness pervades, along with a persistent winey strength (this pup weighs in at a firm 10%)

Oct 9, 2003 Beautiful amber color; generous, creamy head. Intense aroma: malt, caramel, brown sugar, banana, orange peel. Very strong body, well bearing the alcohol content, warming. Round and malty, sweet in the front; orange peels and caramel, light liquorice. Would be perfect with some more fruitness (easier to find in the English Ales) and a more bitter final.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Delicious beer. It has a burnt aroma, with caramel, toffee, chocolate, and also wheat. Flavour is long-lasting, sweet, and there is bitterness at the end. Medium body, good in the palate, just a bit watery. Dark red colour, with a thin, frothy, and long-lasting head.

May 3, 2003 What a great brew! Reddish dark brown with tasty head. Huge vinous aroma with a fantastic touch of acidity. The flavour is extremely powerful and complex. Strong, fruity, sweet. Very full bodied with a sirupy mouthfeel. I love this brew.

Jul 5, 2005 Very nice clear amber with a large off-white head. Nice aroma of malt, orange peel, caramel and brown sugar. Complex taste, sweet to begin with, caramel, malts, orange peel, turning nicely bitter. Full bodied with pretty well hidden alcohol for 10%. Excellent.

Sep 17, 2008 Creme denso e consistente. No aroma e no paladar, madeira, frutas vermelhas e leve sugestão de licor. O final é longo e levemente amargo. Delícia.
