May 26, 2009 Enjoyed on tap from a whiskey snifter. Pours a medium-colored brown with a small white head. The aroma is relatively slight, not what I would expect, and even a little bit light. There were notes of hops and malt, but not to the extent that one would expect in a beer of this ilk and alcohol content. However, while the aroma was a bit of a disappointment, the flavor combination was excellent. First, there wasn’t a note of alcohol to be found - amazing considering the size of this beer. Additionally, the combination of specialty malt and hops was really satisfying. My sample was eminently drinkable, allowing me to enjoy two samples, among drinking other beers. The finish was medium-dry to right smack in the middle of the spectrum. A great beer.

May 24, 2009 Tap at Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Had high expectations, and it lived up to them. Clear golden color with a white head. Nutty, malty aroma. Flavor is sweat bready caramel malt, sugar, toffee, nuts, and mild hops on the finish. Crisp and refreshing with medium body.

May 22, 2009 This was one of the few beers from beerfest that I liked. I remember enjoying it more that dead guy when I first tried that one months ago.

May 22, 2009 Lots of hops and sugar. Cloudy brown and bitter, but simple and one dimensional. Still an improvement over Dead Guy.

May 21, 2009 Clear copper pour, dense white head with plenty of lacing and good retention. Aroma of yeast, caramel, and tree fruit. Flavour is yeast and caramel with some hops and brown sugar, though there’s something metallic about it that I found a bit distracting. Moderately lasting dry finish, fairly creamy mouthfeel with balanced carbo and some warming booziness. Not too bad.

May 16, 2009 Draught sample at Delaneys. Pours coper/gold with a white head. Smells of roses, some pepper, citrus, resiny. Tastes sweet and malty with a rosey finish.
