I was probably too drunk when i rated it, but I think it can still be informative in that I recommend it for someone who is very close to blacking out. After all, a wise man once told me that a rating is just a snapshot in time between a person and their beer and there is no telling what mood or state of mind a person may be in when trying to make their next beer selection.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Dark red-brown with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, candy, fruit cake, figs, caramel, spices and hops. Flavor is very interesting at first with a complex malt profile, fruity esters, alcohol, spices, fruit cake and and hops aroma; then, a gigantic hop waves comes and kill this very interesting malts flavor. Its an interesting beer, but less hops would do it some good. ericandersnavy (1139), crossroads, Texas, USA

Pours cloudy brown with copper tint. Off-white head that hung around for awhile. Nose shows caramel malt and bitter hops. A bit creamy. Seems almost like American barleywine. Similar taste, with bitter finish. This aged well to me. Solid. mar (1944), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2009 Bottle thanks to Ineedabeerhere on BA. Cloudy reddish brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma is citrus hops, caramel, brown sugar, mild roast, and a mild hint of fish that probably shouldn’t be there. Flavor is malty with caramel, roast, floral and citrus hops, and some slight fruity notes. Palate is nice, smooth and full. Not bad at all, but I’ve heard it was a bit past prime and wish I could have tried this more fresh.
