 Elwood (667), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Nov 8, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Clear, light amber color with a small, light tan head. Okay head retention, but no lacing.
Aroma: Lighter nose with notes of earth, caramel, some dough notes, and a little roasted malt.
Flavor: Lighter than I was expecting as well. A little earthy peat, some caramel, some toast and nut notes. The alcohol remained well hidden.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium, malty finish.
Overall: Not as rich and full bodied as they might have you think. I thought it was middle of the road and not all that satisfying. I was left looking for more. Take it or leave it.

Oct 30, 2009 Lots of malts here. Not too sweet. More a beer for the wife but I found it drinkable, just not something I would order....
Delirium (495), Santa Cruz, California, USA
Oct 23, 2009 Bomber. Pours golden-brown with a moderately sized, disappearing tan head. Aroma is caramel malt, nuts, and significant yeast. Flavor is lots of sweet dark malts--- brown sugar, caramel, etc. Rather nutty, with some yeast. Bit of alcohol in the finish. Not hugely complex, and probably a bit sweet for some, but an alright dessert beer overall.
Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA
Oct 21, 2009 Aroma is fairly strong, malty and yeasty with a firm undertone of caramel, rather sweet. It pours a clear mahogany brown with a fairly thick but not persistent off-white head. Flavor is malty with a strong burnt caramel overtone and nutty and yeasty hints. Texture is quite smooth and has a bit of a nip to it, almost like a barleywine.
