Dec 14, 2007 Clear ruby color with a small tan head. Aroma is very sweet and malty with butter and some alcohol. Flavor of very sweet malts with a long buttery finish. Pretty bad.

Dec 13, 2007 Bomber (picked up in Ann Arbor, MI March, 2007) pours clear copper with tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit like dates, plums, raisins and ripe cherries. There’s also creamy toffee and caramel sweetness along with slight hay component that must be the wheat. Smells terrific. Wow, first taste is just about as good as it smells. There are hints of alcohol that hit upfront and ride to the finish with some warming sensations that are a bit too strong and detract some from the experience. On the good side are the tasty fruity notes of cherries, raisins, dates and prunes. The malts come off just as they smell in the nose with sweet caramel candy, toffee and hints of wheat. Maybe this needs more cellaring to even out the slightly high alcohol influence. Very enjoyable now and is one of those beers I’m glad comes in a bomber.

Dec 4, 2007 Thin head, pours a reddish/brown. From a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is sweet with just a little of a strong booze smell coming through. Good flavor, well balanced, but just a little thin. I enjoyed it.

Dec 3, 2007 Beautiful ruby color with very small diminishing tan head and no lacing. Aroma has very strong malt and whiskey notes. Intense whiskey flavor, with caramel malts, spiciness and light hops. This is a really unique brew with a great flavor.
