Aug 17, 2005 Sampled from growler. Deep copper in colour, thin white head and no lacing. The aroma was of caramel malts, dark fruits, earthy, slightly sweet. The flavour was of caramel, some apples, darks fruits, some smoke and minor alcohol. Weird sweet mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation. Finishes with a lingering bitterness. Not to bad.

Jun 14, 2005 Growler from Dirtymike at the 6/4/05 Mondial Gathering. Orange-amber, with a rusty sheen to it and hints of auburn waves giving a lightly layered appearance. Thin white head is fleeting, with little to no lacing. Clear consistency. Candied apples and chocolate in the nose, decent bocky-yeastiness. Definitely some sweet and tart fruits in the nose, cherries, plums, raisins. Flavor begins lightly dry, with an oily feel to it, but some yeast to chew on. Toffee and rich barley grains, giving a lightly roasted edge. Candied-roasted almonds on the end, moderately dry, with a touch of orange peel. Easygoing, low carbonation and mouthfeel. As it warmed and breathed, I got to liking it far more than my first sip, which seemed to dry, pale and oily.
