Apr 11, 2005 Quita a good strong ale but a bit more "mainstreamed" than other west coast micros. Like most of Mendocino’s beers, it’s great to have around for casual drinking.

Mar 28, 2005 Pours a light butterscotch with a medium, off-white head that dissipates quickly. No lacing. Feels very warm and sweet in the mouth. Tastes of caramel and orange with a malty background. Alcohol is masked by the warmth and sweetness. A weak, twinge of hops for an aftertastes.
This was a bit too sweet for me, but went down awfully smooth for an 8% brew. Not bad, but needs more hops for balance. A few of these would have you ferschnockered quickly.

Mar 26, 2005 Malty aroma with some molasses, cardboard. Hazy aroma in color. Tastes a little old initially, unbalanced and alcoholic. Strong molasses. Oxidized? Sun struck? No lace. head mostly diminishing. Off-white head. Some cloying qualities. Improves as it warms, however. I should have cleansed my palate before tasting this brew. Some butterscotch notes come through at mid bottle. Toffee. Not bad. Warming.

Mar 25, 2005 Pours a dark amber color. Has a sweet, almost belgian ale flavor. The alcohol has a nice finish. It’s ok, I’ve had better.
