Mar 28, 2009 Bottle... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Cloudy, caramel-colored ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Not very aromatic. It’s a touch spicy and herbal. Full-bodied with stinging carbonation. The flavor is more subtle, more balanced, more acidic and less roasted than the ’07 version. The lengthy, tart finish winds up being fairly dry. Thanks to JMFG for bringing this bottle to the Throwdown! * * Video = http://homepage.mac.com/maltajo/RATEBEER/iMovieThe

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Ratebeer Gathering. Big brash aroma. Chewy sweet malts, caramel and dried fruit. Rich cherry fruitiness and a long lingering hoppy/fruity finish.

Nov 18, 2009 bottle. cloudy dark rusty caramel body with an off-white ring of a head. the nose is again hugely consumed with caramel malt - there’s a smaller amount of oxidation (wet cardboard) and wet, soggy crackers with a small amount of grassy aromatic hops. hugely viscous and thick body. moderate to high bitterness, but any hop flavor is overrun with reduced maple syrup and underattenuated malt - so much sugar, so much sticky/sweet crystal malt, it’s far too much to take. slight chewed/chalky aspirin in the finish. another disappointment.

Jun 2, 2009 PPRBSG09. Bottle. Pours a brune body with an off white head. Chewy tawny plum and raisin with a big etoh warming. Hints of vanilla and surprisingly well refined at 13%.

May 3, 2009 CPLYFO 09. Thanks to JMFG. Pours a nice slightly hazy deep amber with a thin and lasting head- some lace. Aroma is intensely malty- huge toasted , caramel, and bready malts, toffee, and tons of fruity esters- big raisin and fig, with sugar coated dates, honey and nicely floral and fruity hops. More raisin and fruits in the flavor without becoming too syrupy sweet or cloying but still lots of big complex sugars, honey, some maple, floral hops, and tons of big bready dark toasty malts, caramel and some molasses. Very rich big and smooth and surprisingly easy tpo sip on despite the huge abv. Awesome. 2007 was quite a bit better, but this was still great stuff.

Mar 16, 2009 Bottle from the Otown throwdown. JMFG. Dark brown pour with aromas of caramel, sweet spices, honey, sugar and fruits. Flavor has some nice caramel malt, fruit, vanilla and a good hit of hop bitterness. Nice.
