Dec 28, 2003 This beer rocks!
Dictionary definition of amber. Clear lager with a small, creamy, khaki-colored head. Great retention and decent lacework.
The nose is of caramel and winter spices.
Perfectly balanced flavor. Caramelly and spicey with a burst of butterscotch. Well-bittered. Full-bodied with medium carbonation and a medium-length, moderately bitter finish. Great brew! World class stuff!

Feb 6, 2004 Tap pour. Nice suprise. Clear amber, off white lacey head. Roasted, burnt sugar nose with some banana. Flavours, bananas and caramel, fizzy and crisp while being medium bodied. Nice balance of the alcohol. Some yeastiness. Roasted flavours come out with strawberry and maple syrup. Not bad at all. Head lasts though-out. It has a nice warming glow.

Sep 18, 2007 Updated: May 18, 2008750 ml bottle. pours broze with an average white head. aromas of caramel, raisin, plum, alcohol. great malty sweet flavours. layers of different sweets shine through sip after sip. the flavours are quite subdued when cold but i let this warm up to just below room temp and thats when this one was at its finest. a little pricey but this brew can command it. i cant wait to try other vintages.

May 8, 2005 750 ml bottle of the 2004 version. Copper coloured beer with a thin off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, caramel, maple, butterscotch (not diacetyl), brown sugar with nice bread and toasty elements as well. Sweet rum and raisin character character adds even more malty complexity. Flavour is quite sweet with elements of caramel and toffee. Slightly vineous with notes of dark rum. Toasty warming finish with a light sourness that keeps the sweetness in check. Excellent brew.

Nov 16, 2004 Bottle of 2004 vintage- Amber coloured body accompanied by a thick off white head. Aromas are difficult to distinguish, very complex. Very hoppy, with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vegetation, including pete moss. Taste is sour maltiness, with some sweetness afterwadrs, with a nutty finish. Smooth and creamy, alcohol not noticable at all. Nice bitter lingering aftertaste. Great beer!
