Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Nice looking pour. Sweet smell and taste. Not bad for a Sammy. I would drink a couple more.

Jul 2, 2008 Cloudy brown pour with a big creamy tan head. Lots of spice and fruit in the aroma. Nice sweet grain flavor with the spice and fruit coming through again. The alcohol was noticeable at first, but was warming as I drank more. Nice on the palate, well rounded. Seriously enjoyable!

Jun 29, 2008 This beer is very interesting. It pours a brown hue that gives a white head that soon fades. I can’t realy put my finger on the aroma. It does taste like maybe figs or grapes. It’s pretty good.

Jun 28, 2008 A very rich taste, I loved it. Dark and creamy I was in love with it after the first sip and it lingers just enough to make you want another.

Jun 28, 2008 Ding ding ding... this is awesome. Too bad you can’t get a straight 6 of this, instead you have to buy 3 of the grape pale ale. But this is a great beer.

Jun 27, 2008 Mmm, one look and smell of this one and I was immediately reminded how much I love this style. Dark orange with a thick creamy head, a head with nice retention. The aroma is apples, dried plums, something spicy and sour. The palate is unbelievably smooth and creamy with bananas very prominent. Also graham crackers and hops pushing through is a bit unusual but it works. An outstanding effort. Too bad this one gets retired soon.

Jun 26, 2008 Updated: Jun 30, 2008A good 7 percent beer if you’re entertaining. Acceptably smooth, but has that bocky bitterness reminiscent of Amber Bock or most any doppelbock. The deep color belies the relatively high-spectrum tartness - reminds one of a malt liquor with an edge.
