Oct 30, 2006 Bottle shared by moejuck: Clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel malts, citrus and earthy hops. Flavor, caramel, earthy hops, a good malt base with some really nice bitterness to it. Real good stuff.

Oct 12, 2006 Very hot alcoholic nose with notes of molasses and hop resins. Mildly nutty and biscuity with caramel notes. Far too hot for me.

Sep 23, 2006 Dark and richly malted brew, but still balanced nicely. Caramel and berry sweetness mesh well with the sharp hops. Smooth and enjoyable for such a high ABV, never showed any alcohol burn.

Aug 23, 2006 Poured a clear deep amber with a reddish tint and medium off-white head. Sweet fruity malt aroma with a good amoutn of piney hop. Fair amount of fruity malt in the flavor. The mouth fills with flavor. Nice bitterness from the middle on. Piney hop. Long finish with a moderate bitterness. Medium bodied.

Jun 19, 2006 Dark amber color with a larger foamy cream colored head. Berries and caramel mix in the pine forest. Sweet caramel and raisins seem to be about the most I get out of the flavor in this one. A mild hops presence and some fruit come in the finish and linger. Seems like just another American strong to me.

Mar 27, 2006 Another gem provided by CaptainCougar! Poured a clear, reddish caramel with a tall off-white head. Rich, deep malty aroma with a whole buncha darker spices and dark fruits... some biscuity malt, too. Toffee and dark berries at the forefront of the flavor with caramel and alcohol highlights... later on came some elderberry, brown sugar, and darker spices. Creamy malts across the middle of the palate with alcohol-fueled hop bitters and spices surrounding. Excellent.

Mar 27, 2006 Hazy, orangish-caramel brown in color with a dusty enclave forming jaggedly in the center for the head, along with a lacey white rung. Aromatic bedevilment. Blueberries side with chewy caramel cubes. Plum pudding meets strawberry Honey Bunches of Oats. Quite a sweet smelling cacophony. Flavor delivers. Hop bitterness lightens the load slightly, but that syrupy purple fruit banter is still ever-present. Mild pepper titters on top of a butterscotch betterment. Blueberries and boysenberry fruity esters are never dormant. Bitter hop take on the recession, with a syrupy beggar feeling when it’s all gone. Good stuff, courtesy of CaptainCougar.
