Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jun 22, 2009 I remember this being a fairly solid winter ale, nothing too special but at the time I was drinking it I wasn’t as into craft beer as I am now. Nice maltiness and some dark fruit, fairly smooth on the palate, a little thin. Not too shabby. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Nov 9, 2007 From the bottle. Sampled at Logan’s Pre-GABF party. Brownish color with a smallish head. Dark fruits and touches of dustiness. Very Barleywine like. Not Bad goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 25, 2007 2003 Vintage. Poured a hazy dark amber color with a small off-white head. Some paper oxidized notes. Dark fruity malt with raisins and figs. The flavor was of aged thin malt and a bitter finish. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2007 Name: MacFrost

obxdude10 (1546), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 18, 2006 Semi-dark brown color with no head whatsoever, very little in the nose, of what was there was a slight hint of yeast & sweet malt, very light body, thin & watery, bready yeast flavors dominate the palate with only a slight hint of chocolate & almond, thin finish with more yeast & nuts, unimpressive
TheOrange (405), Kent, Ohio, USA May 15, 2006 Deep brown body with a slight reddish hue. A large tan frothy head, pretty. The aroma is a sweet very hoppy aroma. The flavor is a bit thin in the nose, it grows to a the hoppy aroma is decieving the carmal like malts is much more dominant. The finish is sloppy and long, but there is no aftertaste. The beer is heavily carbonated, not a plus in my book. omhper (12154), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 25, 2006 Bottled. Clear dark ruby. Aroma of raisins, plums and crystal malt. Medium dry with the clean, hard mouthfeel that I associate with crystal malt. Somewhat fruity with plenty of spicy hops. I don’t know why so many American brewers insist on brewing beers with such inhospitably hard mouthfeel? a10555 (123), West Chester, Ohio, USA Feb 17, 2006 Amber in color and has a great aroma. Kind of nutty and spicy. Also, has a spicy nutty flavor. Good Beer
