Aug 6, 2008 Nicely malted strong ale. This one held its alcohol too well. Too well as in a high gravily beer, in my opinion, should show its roots and not rely too heavily on one aspect, here sweet malty bombs blowing up all over. Consider this a malt version of a heavyhanded DIPA.

Jul 4, 2008 Deep mohogany color, decent head, but quickly dissipating. Peaty caramel sweetness to smell along with a minty almost menthol-y aroma. Rounded and balanced body with a smokey earthy quality matched by a lightening vanilla/honey flvaor and a slight piney hop echo. Not bad.

Jun 14, 2008 22oz bottle: Deep caramel colored pour with a thin head that doesn’t stand up. Caramelized sugars are the forefront aroma in the nose, followed by a list of malty goodness. Baker’s chocolate, bourbony raisins, nuts, toasted breads, sweet cookie, peatiness, and on. The nose really mirrors the body, which is just as malty and complex. There is a subtle bitterness that keeps the beer under wraps. Nice cocoa and sweet chocolate finish.

Apr 25, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of kramer17801. Pours a warm, clear orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of caramel and wood. Medium-bodied, notes of caramel and fruit, a little wood - perhaps even whisky? The finish is dry with some alcohol. Nice one. 190408
