Sep 12, 2008 Bottle shared by miketd, Cleveland tasting. Pours a brown color with a sopay tan colored head. Aroma is raisins, caramel, prune, fig. Flavor is yeasty, whole lotta dark fruit going on, prune, fig, raisins, caramel notes, candi sugar. Palate is full bodied, medium carbonation, finished sweet. This was quite good, however fell just short of being great, perhaps the hype killed some of that for me.

Aug 22, 2008 Sampled in our hotel room, GABF 2007. I think cquiroga brought the bottle; apologies if it was someone else (everyone just threw their bottles in our bathtub full of ice, so it got confusing). Smell belies the bourbon, with some candi sugar. Flavors remind me of Thomas Hardy’s in the golden raisin and malts. Very lively carbonation. Vinous. Bitterness in the finish is somewhat acrid. This was enjoyable, but I have to say I"m a bit disappointed.

Aug 8, 2008 Thanks to cquiroga for sharing this epic beer at the RBSG 08 Grand Tasting. Pours a dark brown color with a dense tan head that leaves thick lacing. Aromas of raisins, oxidized apples, caramel. Primarily dark fruit flavor with fig and raisin. Also some candi sugar, vanilla, and caramel which make this beer rather sweet. Spicy fruity alcohol in the finish. Full bodied and warming.

Aug 8, 2008 Sample from an 05 bottle at RBSG shared generously by cquiroga! Nose of Raisins, caramel, candisugar, and a vanilla note; cloudy dark brown with a small beige head; flavor of figs, raisins (very dark fruity), lightly yeasty and sweet! Glad I got to taste this as it is one of the mix between AS and Vinnie of RR Despirartion (a favorite)!
