Brewed by Keegan Ales
Style: American Strong Ale
Kingston, New York USA

Iced tea colored pour with a small, loose, white head. Aroma is molasses and vanilla with slight dark fruit and heavy charred oak. The flavor is orange peel, clover honey, oaky vanilla, caramelized brown sugar with some plum on the finish as it warms. Very sweet. Sticky medium full body with moderate carbonation.

1L bottle at the Metro Tasting. Pours copper with an off white head. Aroma is caramel, slight pine, and honey. Taste is much the same, some saltiness, full flavoured, flavors have aged nicely and come together well.

Awesome looking liter swing top courtesy of MCLK, thanks Mark. It pours striking clear copper with thin tan head. The aroma is full malts and honey sweetness followed by some heat with a deeper draw. This seems to have a smooth chewy nose. The taste has malt sweetness moving into modest yet rich dark fruity sweetness and smooth honey goodness. By midway a layer of sharp oakiness is noticed as a sense of booze surfaces along side. It ends a tad warm but with lingering malt and honey sweetness and fading oak notes.

1L swingtop bottle courtesy of MCLK. #311 of 500. Poured a murk brown/amber. Nose is honey, some fig, sweet malt and floral earthy hops. Oak forward. Flavor is bourbon, sweet fruits, some apple, earthiness, oak and alcohol. Very warming. Beautiful beer.

Thanks MCLK for the share. This is an enjoyable and unusual beer. Pours amber with an off-white head. Nose is malt, raisin, syrup, whiskey, and some slight hops. Lots of oakiness. Interesting beer that tastes of oak, caramel, honey, and lots of sweetness in this one-of-a-kind beer.

1 liter swing top bottle, dated 12/07, #353 of 500. First of all I want to give a big thanks to Coldbrewky for sending this my way a little over a year ago. Hazy red/amber pour with a thin off white head. Nose is honey, malt and wood. Palate is thick and heavy with low carbonation. Flavor is dominated with honey sweetness as well as caramel and toffee. Also, some hints of vanilla bean and dark fruit. I probably would have rated it even higher if there had been some hop bite for balance. Maybe I waited to long to drink it. This was very good. Truely a special brew.

Bottle, courtesy MCLK. Clear brownish red pour, frothy white head, thick lacing. Big hot hoppy nose, some caramel and piney note, tons of sweetness. Flavor is thick sticky malts, some dry oak and citrus, and nice honey flavors in the finish. Thick, delicious body, and very well-masked alcohol.

1L bottle @Tampa Wkly Gathering-pours an offwhite head and hazy amber color. Aroma is light malt-caramel/bready. Taste is light malt-caramel/bready, light spices, alcohol. Good effervescence. Thanks to MCLK
