Jun 25, 2008 Pours a ruby hued amber color with a small tan sudsy head. Nose of grapefruit, dark fruits, hazlenuts, molasses, overall very mild. Initial taste is actually vinous with hazlenuts, touch of cocoa, dried fruits. Finishing with a mild bitterness hop balance. Alcohol is decently masked. Light bodied and smooth. Palate duration is average. Good head retention and spot lacing of the glass. This one didn’t really move me.

Jun 9, 2008 multiple bottles from random trades. thanks guys. Pours a very dark red with a medium sized off white head. Aroma was strong caramel malts and a bit of molasses. Flavor is up front hazelnut, with some caramel, chocolate, dried fruits, and nuts. Finishes mildly bitter, peaking around 3ish (fuck you joey). I hate hazelnut but I didn’t mind this that much.

Apr 28, 2008 12oz bottle, notched on April--assuming the best by date? Received it in the Mystery Swap 3.0. Clear ruby brown with a 1/2 finger beige head, fading to a ring before long. Baker’s chocolate up front, light minerals and some raisiny fruits. There is also some toasted grain and caramel. Good job of smelling English. Flavor is a little more caramelly, though the baker’s chocolate is still there and follows through to the earthy lightly roasty dry finish, bitterness peaking around a 3. Backing up a bit, flavor is still a little fruity with some raisin notes. No trace of alcohol at all. Pretty low carbonation with a smooth medium full body. A nice surprise.

Apr 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma of sugared walnuts and almonds, brown sugar, some fruity sweetness and light caramel notes. Pours dark brown with some deep maroon highlights. Flavor is nutty with grassy hops and lemony tartness on the finish. Slightly metallic on the back of the tongue. Medium bodied and creamy with a tart finish. Interesting, but altogether unimpressive. Thanks Craig!

Apr 28, 2008 This came in a trade with Shyam. Thanks! Pours a deep copper brown with ruby hues and head that is absolutely non-existent. The aroma right out of the fridge and right out of the bottle was extremely mild, but once it warmed there was a subtle malt aroma that included a touch of spice and biscuit. Flavor was very sugary with plenty of caramel and brown sugar but not a lot else. Finish was a little dry with a touch of lasting sweetness. Drinkable, even with the high alcohol content, but very forgettable.

Apr 2, 2008 Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with a slightly acidic edge. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and light notes of straw, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
