Dec 2, 2007 Sampled from a 16 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with a large white head. The aroma was rather pleasant mix of sweet caramel and ripe fruits. The flavor was sweet and fruity with elements of caramel and molasses. The finish was very long, sweet and fruity.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, Harry’s bottle. Our third Elf of the night and easily the best. Dark yellow, orange hints, small white head. Booze, syrup, fruit aroma. Taste is dent - booze and sweetness, but a better mix/balance than the others. Not great, bur drinkable and decent.

Nov 30, 2007 Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma’s sweet and sugary along with alcohol, sweet malt, fruit and maybe a hint of hops. Flavour’s also sugary sweet along with fruit, hops and alcohol -- it’s quite pleasant tasting actually. Alcohol’s fairly well hidden for 10.5 % Medium bodied. Not bad, one of the better Ridgeway Elf beers for sure.

Nov 29, 2007 Bottle from the First Houston Tasting
Pours a nice amber with an aroma of concert pot smoke. Really. Flavor is salami and port wine. Thin mouthfeel. Eh, I’ve had worse.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, my bottle. Light clear amber pour, decent frothy-creamy off-white head. Aroma - this is pretty decent - very sweet, very boozy, but I get candied fruit and even some floral hops. The taste is apricot, candy sugar, strong alcohol, and lingering bitterness. Light, slick body, mostly alcohol palate character, but enough candy fruit to make it seasonal. Strong and sweet, but not a burner.
