Jun 5, 2009 Bottle at Toncatchers. A big thanks to Dennis for this one. Brown pour with a small off-white head. The nose was big and bold with earthy nuts and a dried fruits. The flavor was also big--with toffee, hazelnuts, almonds, fresh and dried fruits, oak, vanilla and caramel. The palate was full and smooth. Overall: Clearly the best BW of the night! I loved it.

Jun 2, 2009 Toncatchers 2. Malt and yeast on the nose. Very even scent. Super hazy orange with almost no lace. Taste is warm and smooth. Vanilla, malt, and dark fruit. Subtle. I liked this one better than the 01. Thanks Dennis.

Jun 2, 2009 Bottle shared at toncatchers "nothing sour, nothing hoppy" tasting. I thought this one was the best BW of the night. I liked the raisin fig and sugars in this one.

May 31, 2009 Sampled today. Soft caramelly Flavors with a very nice, pleasant burnt sugar theme riding through. The color here was a dark golden and the nose of aged caramel. The mouthfeel was delicate and fluffy. Sorry for the loss of words, feel free to give me another sample for a re-rate. Thanks, Jorge.

May 28, 2009 Bomber from puzzl (Aug 2007 trade) Guess it is really well aged now! Nose is very oaky woodiness, raisins, and prunes. Hazy dark amber with a very small beige head. Flavor is a lot of prunes and raisins and very woody. Very smooth with no hint of the 100IBUs in the finish of lightly sweet dark fruit. Would have loved to try this fresh!
