Jan 31, 2006 22oz bottle via trade with DarkElf - Thanks Stephen! Pours a nice deep mahogony color with a short offwhite head that laces down the sides of the Trappist Glass. Aromas of sweet caramel, some raisins, bread, and nice citrus and pine hops. The taste begins very sweet.. Notes of caramel, cherry, dough, and even a touch of roasted malt, but it gives way to those pine and grapefruit hops that finish of the brew wtih a nice bitter balance to that early sweetness. Palate is full bodied with a very pleasant soft airy mouthfeel. A great beer to pay tribute to this icon. Very nice.. Glad to have a chance to try this! Oh and the label is one of the best ever... Very cool

Jan 23, 2006 Bottled shared by goldtwins, courtesy of DarkElf: Dark transparent mahogany color pour has a nicely-lacing off-white head. Toasty dark caramel cookie dough aroma has some mild complex butterscotch and piney hoppy presence. Body starts with a toasty sweet caramel maltiness loaded with lots of fresh resiny and grapefruity hops. Very well-balanced and enjoyable and full of bold flavor that hides the abv very well.

Jan 10, 2006 Had this at Vail Beer Fest. 2-oz sample in a snifter. Beer poured a hazy light-brown color with a small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing head. The aroma was lightly malty with roasted grain and cookie; lightly hoppy with notes of pine/resin; miscellaneous notes of honey, raisin and sherry. The flavor was moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short, heavily bitter finish. The body was light-to-medium, the texture was watery and the carbonation was soft. Not bad, but no "punch in the mouth" here.

Dec 7, 2005 Sampled at Oakes’ ’05 Xmas Party
Clear auburn color. No head, no lacing. Nose of sweet roasty malts, grassy hops and light yeast. Strong and flavorful but not really pronounced in any one area aside from a Tootsie roll flavor.

Dec 4, 2005 Deep dark brown beer. Sweet malty aroma, a bit of herbal hop aroma, dill, sweet toffee aroma. Flavour is okay, a bit of meaty, salty flavour. Doesn’t do it for me.

Nov 10, 2005 Bottle: Dark caramel, large rocky sand colored head, fairly nice lacing, light carbonation. Sweet bready aroma, dark, quite malty as well. Unripened fruit, on top of a dark breadiness, very slight fig/date, and a bit of a hop bitterness on the backside. Big bodied, mouthfeel is fairly moderate. Unsweetened fruity finish, malty/bready on the dark side, with a moderate hop tinge. Not terribly big, decent, but nothing out of the ordinary. A big Lagunitas beer, but not one of their best. Rest in peace H.S.T.. Thanks Centaur for the bottle!
