tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 27, 2009 Aroma is very malty and fruity, some earth, nuts. Like Double Bag, only more so. The appearance is a nice brown amber color, modest off-white head. The flavor is very fruity, malty, raisin, also nice. The mouthfeel was on the thick side, and oily. The finish has a sweet residue, and a wierd mettalic quality, the only thing (slightly) off-putting about this beer. Decent beer all around. I prefer the Double bag to this, but this is still respectable. Gabler (86), , New York, USA Jul 22, 2009 On tap. Poured an almost clear orangey/amber with slight head that was immediately diminished. Aroma much like double bag. It was malty, with a nice complexity brought on by a smooth sweetness. Medium body made it quite drinkable and quite dangerous. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Mar 25, 2009 on tap @Philly BeerFest III–pours an off white head and copper color. Aroma is medium malt-peat, copper. Taste is medium malt-peat, copper-hops bite, some raisin, alcohol. kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 21, 2009 Draft, at Philly Craft Beer Fest. Pours medium amber, capped with a big tan head. Aroma is on the sweet side, with toffee, dried fruit, nuts, some citrus, and alcohol. Flavor is caramel up front, with citrus, brown sugar, and floral notes. Finishes with citric hops and alcohol. I’m a bigger fan of the Double Bag. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 12, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Aroma of huge, syrupy malts with berries and toffee, mildly earthy feel. Flavor again predominantly sweet with just that hint of earthy presence. On the cloying side. Ok. thornecb (1736), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Feb 17, 2009 Pours deep amber into a snifter. Off-white head with good retention leaves no lacing. Sweet caramel and alcohol aromas. Dry and sweet from front to back. Alcohol burn in the finish. swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Feb 16, 2009 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Caramel colored pour. sugary sweet malty aroma. Sweet malt flavor, touch of floral sugarness. Some raisny sweetness that sticks to the tip of your tongue. Sweetness needs to be countered & it isnt. OK Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jan 14, 2009 Draft at Mugs. Flavors of a grape and caramel lollipop. Unvelieveable that this is 9.2%. One of the better LT beers I’ve had.
