Nov 29, 2008 My 1850th entry, a seven-buck bomber from Capone’s. Mild gusher despite the long refrigeration and lack of movement. Room-filling, huge pine nose balanced by huge caramel malt. Deeply hazy amber-copper pour with a solid, Duvel-like beige head. Chewy, earthy malt, big sting but on the whole the alcohol is well-embedded. A little fusel-y, though. Full body very warming, a bit muddled in the hop registers (no citrus?), laces well. Bunch of undigested sugar. A decent, not great, BW, probably better for a quick buzz than lengthy enjoyment.

Nov 27, 2008 2004 Bottle. Sweet strawberry notes with some alcohol presence. Light grape aroma, some oxidation. Cloudy orange-brown with no head. Not much left from this beer. Some alcohol and sharp carbonation with light grape and strawberry. Nice thickness.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy murk of reds and browns with a modest head. Aroma is not hugely powerful, but has a nice balance of grapefruit and caramel toffee. Alcohol is evident and quite prevalent, but come as a welcome. Flavor is ripe with hops and alcohol pokes through vigorously, but somehow a nicely proportioned balance was struck. Palate is slightly sticky from the gratuitous amount of residual sugars, and finishes with a slight booze character. Interesting for sure, but a little frayed around the edges.

Nov 17, 2008 2004 bottle, thanks to jjpm74. Amber pour with off-white head. Aromas of caramel, malt, mild butterscotch. Earhty with eucalyptus notes. Honey and vanilla. Not stellar, but certainly not bad.
