Hand bottle from wetherel (thanks John!). Pours dark brown with tan head when poured from a distance above the glass. The initial aroma was very interesting...a lot of fruitiness, perhaps cherries, along with pure caramel. As the beer warmed, there were some roasted malt notes along with some nuts in the nose. Taste is very malty and sweet; more fruit in here too, though more on the raisin side. A bit of tanginess appears as well; not sure if that’s some the cherry I noticed before or something else in there. Gotta say, I would’ve never guessed this was 11%. More like 7% based on the way i was downing this thing. Glad I didn’t really read the stats on this one beforehand. Very sticky on the palate and finishes sweet. This was a very good offering, and thanks again John for giving me a tick from a brewery I would’ve never looked at previously.

May 22, 2008 An awesome beer, that has a great malty flavor. A very High Alcohol content but you cant taste the alcohol in it. It is very smooth and crisp and refreshing.

Feb 7, 2008 On tap at the brewery 02/02/08. Poured a dark mahogany with no head at all. Carbonation was so low in fact that something may have been off with the tap line. That being said the aroma was minimal with a hint of toasted character, some smokiness and a warm, dry alcohol scent. The flavor of the beer was dominated by malt and the alcohol was well hidden. Not as much of a smoked peat character in the background as is usual for the style. Have to say I was a bit disappointed as I typically love this style of beer. Not bad, but not exceptional.
