Jan 3, 2009 From an ’06 vintage tap at Toronado. The body was dark copper. The aroma was caramel and almonds with some tangerines. The taste was sweet cinnamon and toast. There was also some roasted peanuts. Subtle caramel in the finish. More like a generic American Strong Ale than any malt liquor I have tried.

Mar 11, 2009 On tap @ Flavor--I like the tap head--it’s a slice of toast! Clear copper brown with a two finger light beige head, good retention. Aroma is domiated by toast and toasted grain, with just a hint of scorched toffee. Flavor is more hoppy andbitter than the aroma suggested with some earthy and lightly herbal hops. Bitterness peaks around a 3-4 in the dry finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation. As far as the aroma goes, great name for the beer.

Jan 13, 2003 Cask. Toasty and very tangy hop notes. The malt returns with some earthiness and a bit of oxidized drag. The mouth feels neat in the light creaminess and searches aimlessly for hints of strength. Here comes the tang again as things wrap up. Maybe more CO2 would help the balance by nrightening up the base and reducing oxidation.

Feb 7, 2006 Had on tap at Pete’s. Pour is an amber/brown body. Aroma is of toasted malt, some caramel and a bit nutty. Mouthfeel was average. Flavors were somewhat muted but still enjoyable, whith notes of roasted malt ever present. Tasty beer.

Oct 17, 2006 Tap. Fairly dark color , not much of a head. Not as much burnt flavor as the name would imply. More dominated by malts, molasses and caramel. Aromas hint of some roasted malts but not much so. Quite a nice beer, good body.
