IMtheOptimator (1122), Bethel, Connecticut, USA Dec 2, 2005 Thanks to beeryum for this beer.
Poured an almost still amber with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of cinnamon, cloves, dark fruit, and a touch of lemon. Taste is sweet and spicy with heavy notes of brown sugar and cinnamon with a mildy vinous character and a slight alcohol burn. Full body with strong carbonation. I enjoyed this one. MullMan (1015), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2005 copper ruddy color, clear and bright. very fluffy & rocky light tan head that lasts. crazy pillars of lacing, light fizz up the body. lager-like caramel grassy aroma. high carbonation, makes it feel spicy, but the flavor is actually a little earthy malt. bitter to start but also caramel malt flavor too. finish is dry & bitter. thanks Beeryum for a hand-capped bottle! Firemoose15 (495), Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 30, 2005 Hand bottled bomber, thanks beeryum. Aroma was malty and sweet. Poured a nice red to brown with a decent head. Taste was good, an interesting blend of malt and hops, had a candied flavor to it. Palate was nice and even with an ever so light vanilla finish. Thanks Dave!! Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA Jun 28, 2005 Hand bottled, Beeryum rocks. This poured a hazy red brown. Rich and creamy tan head. Nose had a yeast-malt thing going on. The taste was malty sweet, with candy flavors, and I got a strong vanilla noe and a sour after taste. Thank you. re-rate: there is a strong vanilla after taste that slowly sours, and I felt a warming, wonder what the ABV is on this.
