Sep 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a bright copper colour with a beige head that’s short lived. Nose is fairly subdued with hints of toffee, fruitcake and sweet malts, and the flavour is fairly similar, but less restrained. In the mouth brown sugar, caramel, apples and pears all join with the elements of the aroma to create a very nice, pretty unique (in my experience) quad that hides its alcohol well and doesn’t cloy on the palate. Lovely.

Sep 6, 2009 Warm red-orange, transluscent body with luxorius beiged head. Alcoholic ripe apple nose with some apple pie spice phenolixs mixed in with the boozy apple. Zingy mouthfeel. Piquant malt, apple, and aged cider melanoidin, slightly oxidized. Subdued phenols and esters are in balance. Enjoyable mouthfeel that titillates the tongue. The alcohol is palpable, but not fuselly or overpowering. The sum may be greater than the parts.

Sep 1, 2009 Sampled at an outdoor beer tasting sponsored by Doti Liquors, Elmhurst, IL. Poured to my fest/wine glass a hazy, deep brown tone with a modest, off white/light tan head that reduced to a ring and film, and left some light lacing. The aroma was toasty, brown sugar sweetness, dark fruit, and some caramel. The flavor was the same strong notes, with a thick, syrupy texture, light, almost imperceptible bitterness, and warming alcohol. Maybe a little too sweet for me, but still very tasty.
