Oct 23, 2008 1L bottle received via trade with jjpm74. Pours hazy and sparkling tawny with a small, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (cookie, caramel), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough) with notes of apples. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Oct 18, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one.
Slightly hazy, light brown body with a tan head.
Caramel aroma.
Sweet with some hop dryness, but not overly sweet.
Average, could use more complexity. Not as bad as those who tasted with me rated this, but in comparison with the other brews we were sampling, it fell far short.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican or iowaherkeye. Thanks to you both again. Poured a slightly hazy ruddy-orange color. The head was corn flake colored and consisted of large soap bubbles. Smelled of lemon and lime candy (ala Pez) and minimal oaky vinegar. Light to medium bodied with moderate bitterness. I tasted lemon, lime, oak, pastry, and nonspecific spices. Interesting stuff.

Sep 29, 2008 Bottle shared by decaturstevo. Poured brown with a tan head that left light lace. Weird mix in the aroma of sweet tarts and musty cellar. The sweet tarts follow in to the flavor with slight malt background. Medium body, chalky, slightly metallic, tart. I also have ass written in my notes so see Ross’s rating.

Sep 29, 2008 1 Liter Swing-Top Bottle: Faint aroma. Smells of alcohol, oak, caramel, and red wine. Poured very deep amber/brown in color with a medium-sized, dense, rocky, beige head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Full of tiny particles. Very good lacing. Flavor is Medium sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of alcohol, oak, coconut, chocolate, wood, caramel, resin, fig, and toffee. Medium body. Thin, watery texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, resinous finish. As Rastacouere says, "A very beefy beer on paper that resumes to little at all in mouth. "

Sep 20, 2008 Updated: Sep 21, 2008Bottle from Decaturstevo. Pours a dark copper amber with a white head. Aroma is really odd, like old sweaty gym socks. Medium bodied with a slight syrupy texture. Flavor of caramel, smoke, and some weird off flavor, which is dusty, sour, and musty. On a positive note, alcohol well hidden.

Sep 20, 2008 Oxidationfest Tasting at illinsmittys. Rusty brown pour with ruby highlights and wispy off-white head. Aroma of cherries, yeast, vanilla, wood. Sweaty socks according to smitty. I kinda see that. Flavor is sweet, raisin, and sour funk that I can’t place. Alcohol seems pretty well masked until the finish. Semi-metallic, tart finish. I’m wondering if we didn’t have a bad bottle?
