May 13, 2005 Almost no head. Very thin pale head dissapeared almost immediately. Reddish-brown in color. Light bread-dough scent with maple syrup. Sweet, complex and interesting aroma. Caramel malty taste, I can feel alcohol in my nose when I taste. Medium bodied with a nice smooth and a little bit sweet finish.
Thanks Blake.

May 13, 2005 05.13.05 12oz bottle thanks to MrFacto. Beautiful cherry brown pour. Thick tan head of dense foam quickly fades to a thin ring, as expected. Aromas are sweet sugar and molasses, light maple, hints of soy; patriarch tobacco touches like yesterday’s smoke rings. The body is slick but medium-light. Tanned leather, more tobacco, anise, allspice. So smooth and all the flavors and aromas are wonderfully integrated. Thanks for this treat, Matt!

Mar 24, 2005 Incredible. Glad I was able to get my hands on one of these before it’s extinct. Pours medium tinted, radiant brown with a thick, 1" foamy head. Smells very malty with a discernable alcohol presence. Taste is all encompassing - bright, lively caramel and roasted malts. Slightly oaky, with a tobacco edge and burnt aftertaste. Gets a little more acidic and syrupy as it warms. This is a great winter warmer, but I’d be willing to drink it during any season. I know, some sacrifice, right?

Mar 14, 2005 This beer is all about roasted barley, with notes of caramel and malt. Really a fantastic beer, my favorite unplugged to date. The palette suits the flavors, moderately tight.

Mar 14, 2005 The uncut, unfiltered, unplugged nature shines through with yet another quality beer from New Glarus. A subtle barley aroma gives way to a full-on barley saturation of taste. Rich, hearty, roasted tastes are the name of the game here, not a single hint of bitterness. So savory, I couldn’t finish the one glass.

Mar 5, 2005 This was a really great beer. It poured a nice deep chestnut color with a tan colored head. The flavor was roasty, with some caramel hints and the alcohol is well hidden. Recommended.

Mar 4, 2005 Utterly fantastic. I was in awe at this beer...if you ever see a bottle, grab it immediatley. It’s like Salvator, but more complex.
