Aug 31, 2007 Pours to a molten shade of red-orange and fairly clear. Floral aroma with hints of pineapple. A thick soil of wild rice underneath. Tastes very hot and sweet. Candied nuts, green apples, and grainy kiwi sugars. Warm maple syrup on the back end. The heat isn’t especially boozy, but more of a red pepper flavor. Alcohol rubs hard on the palate, though, especially because this malt bill is not thick enough to hide it. Seems hopped to a purposeful extreme, but this rings a little false. Lacks substance at its core. Thanks for sharing, Mike!

Jul 20, 2007 Bottles, thanks to Chuck and Peter. Poured a deep, murky coppery-brown with a dusting and a loose ring of beige head. Aroma was very heavy on the sliced dark fruit.. plums and pears with a candied, slighly-lighter fruit sweetness. Flavor found a whole bunch of dark fruity and caramel sweetness with some milder herbal bitterness and a very bitter caramel finish. Rather thick on the palate with a solid balance between the bitterness and the fruity base and bitterness.. left a bunch of fruity bitterness that lasted quite a while. Warm and enjoyable.

Jul 17, 2007 Thanks to weeare138 for sharing this. Pours a lightly hazy ruby amber with a smaller bubbly off white head that left hints of lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla, caramel, various spices, some vegetable. Flavor of the same on the malty sweet side.

Jun 2, 2007 20060812 12oz bottle shared at Mel’s Madness. Deep copper color with thin film of white head slickly coating. First sniff was a hit of something vegetal and a bit off-putting. Beyond that, and it was distracting, was a sweet maltiness and a strong phenolic presence. The flavor mirrored the aroma for me, only sweeter than expected with a strong punch of alcoholic heat. Sticky but light to medium in body. Spices present themselves not subtly, but with a woody bitterness. This one didn’t do it for me but maybe will improve in a few years.
