Oct 11, 2008 On tap at the Beechtree, 20 oz pour shared with friends. Floral aroma into a dark copper colored ale. Fruity and a bit sweet, even malty perhaps. The alcohol sticks out a bit, but at 9.2 ABV, it’s a little hard not to.

Oct 3, 2008 Draft at Capone’s. Pours deep coppery, approximating the color of amber glassware. Nose is caramel malt, hops, spirity cognac, citrus. Tastes caramel malty, with hops, citrus, figgy fruit, and mild nuttiness. As it warms, it gets somewhat hot, but the flavors sort of approximate a low-end cognac somewhat, so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
