Bottle. Pours beautiful dark brown with big fluffy head, very nice. This is where the pleasantry ends. Aroma and flavor are sickeningly sweet, very simple. one flavor (i can’t put my finger on what it is, raisins? maple syrup?) overpowers anything else that may or may not be there...but it does cover the alcohol really well. desperately in need of hops.

Oct 29, 2009 22oz. bottle served in a snifter. Pours a dark amber with a thin off white head. Nice aroma, a good balance of malt and hops. Taste is a little flat. Definitely on the malty side. Some burnt sugar in the flavor. Body is a bit thin. Could use some more hop bitterness to balance out the malt. I found this beer to be lacking.

Oct 18, 2009 Pours off white head. Malts, caramel and barley. Alcohol lets you know its there with a little bit of a funk taste. Finishes sweet with some bitter.

Oct 12, 2009 22oz bottle. Cloudy light brown pour with a medium beige head. Caramel and sweet malt aroma with some boozy character and not much hop. Flavor is about the same, but has enough hop in the finish to keep it from being too sweet. Better than expected.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours light brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is rich malt, caramel, and some dark fruit. Flavor is lots of caramel malt, a hint of hop bitterness. Much like an Old Foghorn without the rich, sticky mouthfeel.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orangish amber with a thin light brown head. Aroma consists of sweet barley notes and a quite strong presence of alcohol. Flavor is full of sweet barley with a slight undertone of alcohol. A bit light on the tongue.

Aug 19, 2009 Pours a beige, fading head that retains some legs and a murky brown, copper body. Smells of dried fruit, dough, and brown sugar. Flavor is about the same. Finish is dried fruit and a little bitter rind.

Aug 17, 2009 This bottle was from 07 or before, but there was no date so who knows. Pours amber brown with a smallish cream colored head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and dark fruits. Flavor is big caramel malt, with hints of chocolate, and a nice warming and slightly bitter finish. Pretty good.

Jun 19, 2009 This beer pours a dark caramel brown with a nice one finger tan head that lasts a couple of minutes. It is sweet on the nose with malt, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is pretty much the same but with a funky chemical bitterness. That subsided after the beer warmed and it smoothed out some. Still, this beer was a bit of a battle to finish. I was glad to see the bottom of the glass.
