Dec 20, 2008 12 oz bottle fomr KingpinIPA, thanks buddy. Pours a clear reddish amber with a small to average sixe bubbly light beige head. Aroma is great with tons of sweetness from fruits, pear..green apple..raisin..peach..grape, oak, vanilla, honey and molasses. Medium bodied with strong carbonation and an alcohol warming on the finish. Flavor is good but not quite as intense as the aroma. Notes of raisin and plum, oak, vanilla and honey. I enjoyed this beer very much but just wished I wasnt such an ogre that I drank this all on my own. Sorry guys I normally share with I have no will power.

Nov 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Slightly sweet woody aroma, very nice. Pours dark copper with very little head. Smooth flavor, with a little bourbon heat, not much, but it’s in the back of the throat. Nice.

Nov 26, 2008 Pours a red copper hued cloudy orb in my flute. Not much bourbon in the nose. Some good malt and an almost butterscotch flavor to the palate. Not much hop in this one, although there is this weird lingering clove flavor in the aftertaste. Has that certain piney nutmeg flavor that all of NG’s beers seem to have. A little too clove-ish for me.

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle from Discount. This one must be past its prime, very tinny tasting. Nose has minimal funk, lots of vanilla/bourbon. Low carbonation. taste is big and rich, caramel dominating. A bit of hops, though not much. Most bourbon and caramel. Nice enough body, but like I said, metallic. Meh.
