| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Good yellowish head, gone in secs. Dark gold-copper beer, like old brandy. Alcohol wafting from the glass, as, again, old brandy, realy smelling like a glass of vieux cognac . Sweet, alcohol, vinous & brandy-like, brandycake, ending even a bit almondy. Very slick, nearly tear-forming, enormous alcoholwarming. Maybe one of the most brandy-like beers ever tasted. GeneralGao (3057), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Thanks to iowaherkeye for bringing this bottle to his ’farewell to Iowa’ tasting. Poured a hazy brown-orange color with an off white head. Smelled of pear and raspberry. Medium bodied and sweet with a syrupy mouth feel. I tasted raspberry cough syrup, pear, and toffee. Lots of berries. With the exception of the cough syrup note, I wouldn’t have had any idea this was 13%. Not bad.
