Mar 3, 2007 Bottle shared by nolankowal at C-Bus 6: Deep amber color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, sweet notes, and a bit of oxidation. Flavor, some slight oxidized notes, caramel, earthy hops, and some alcohol. Not to bad, just a little off.

Mar 3, 2007 Bottle Courtesy of jjpm74. Thanks John! Murky dark brown. Small almost non-existent tan fizz on the surface. Nose is sweet. Lots of choco notes, cocoa, sweet malts, chocolate cake and soft fruit notes. taste is just as big as the aroma. Lots of chocolate notes, cocoa, cake, soft alcohol, fruit notes and light bitterness. Body is slick and sticky. Light warmth and soft carbonation with a light medium overall feel. Ends with more chocolate, sweet malts, some light alcohol and caramel, chocolate covered fruit notes as well. Very nice!

Mar 3, 2007 Thanks to nolankowal for sharing. Sweet malt and some light hops in the nose. Reddish brown in color with a light palate for a strong ale. Vinuous flavors followed by sweet malt. This is just too thin for me personally.

Feb 27, 2007 NorCal tasting 07 - I really don’t know how this beer was stored but I have to guess that it wasn’t in the best of conditions. What seemed like it might have been really tasty a year ago, was now just a shell. An aroma of light fruits, some dark chocolate and carmael but it was just too toned down, almost watered down. Appearance was a cloudy, dark brown/amber in color with a small head. Flavor of sweet malts, light fruits, pepper, maple and light chocolate notes. Pretty average stuff. Nothing great.

Feb 10, 2007 Updated: Nov 16, 2007Bottle from ClarkVV. Looks like icedtea. No head or carbonations. Has a malty chocolate raspberry aroma. The taste was the same but sweet with a dry finish. Some alcohol is detected but not too much. Very smooth on the palate.

Jan 20, 2007 Purchased Labor Day 2006; sampled 01.20.07. Pours a clear, rich garnet with a fine ring of brown foam along the edges of the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty, with a good deal of alcohol and fruitiness. Ripe fruits and chocolate abound in the flavor, with a lingering alcoholic finish. Significant wood and spice are present as well. Not overpowering for a 12% brew; the age has done it well. Another winner from my former hometown brewery!

Nov 27, 2006 Poured a clear dark orange /brown color with a thin beige head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits, chocolate, raisins and only a hint of alcohol. The flavor was fairly sweet and ,alty with a hint of chocolate. Some alcohol. Bitter finish. Very warming with the alcohol fairly well hidden for how high it is.
