Sep 10, 2009 500 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron. Poured a lot lighter then I was expecting, a muddy brown with an average sized creamy beige head. Aroma was very nice good with lots of all overall sweetness....raisins, dates, honey, slight nuttiness, buttered brown toast and slight alcohol with some warming. The body on this one was thinner then expected and with some stronger bubbly carbonation this one really wasn’t what I was expecting. The flavor is far hotter then I was expecting with such a low ABV, well compared to what I’m used to anyway. Lots of grainy bread, dark fruits and artificial sweetner flavors. Despite the heat and the weaker flavor then I was expecting the aroma is so good it really carries this beer. Worth trying if you can find it.

Aug 23, 2009 Nice aroma of licorice, sarsparilla, and grain. Cloudy brown, medium off white head. A bit metallic and sweeter than expected. Not very beery. No trace of alcohol.

Jul 28, 2009 On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House. Pours deep slightly hazy amber with tan head. The aroma is rich yummy caramelized malts and crystal malts. Nice. The taste is rich and caramel goodness cut by some carbonation tingle of grainy malts. Midway I get a brief note of floral hops. This brew starts thick and caramel sweet but manages to even out some and approach being refreshing into the finish.

Jul 26, 2009 Interesting beer. Hints of cherry with tawny ruby port. Virtually no head with little to no lacing. Hazy body with a medium to dark amber hue. A little sour milk in the finish. Light medium body with a watery texture with lively carbonation.

Jul 11, 2009 Bottle... Clear mahogany lager with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Excellent retention. Nutty aroma with dabs of chocolate and caramel and maybe a vinous note or two. Full-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and laid-back carbonation. Sweet, malty flavor furnishes gobs of caramel, but doesn’t offer much in the way of bitterness or balance. Sweet toffee and caramel finish. Nice lager – very reminiscent of a Scotch ale.

Jul 6, 2009 Sampled at Noogfest High 5. The body was dark copper, nearly brown with a light khaki head. Smells of caramel and apples. I also got some notes of bread crust and peanuts. The taste was sweet bubblegum and caramel. Good.
