May 3, 2008 Wowie. This was a huge hit. Aroma is super malty with some nice toast to it. Flavor is like a toasted chocolate covered banana. I even got some ice cream to drizzle this over and it was just marvelous. My wife enjoyed it very much as well. Well done Rodney!

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle given to me by MaxxDaddy. Thank you sir. Beautiful pour, awesome head, with a muddy copper brown body that is completely unfiltered. Aroma is lightly metallic, wheaty (almost smells like its just begun germinating) with a touch of tomato and pure dark chocolate. The body is thick and perfect, though the beer is very slightly chalky. The flavor is slightly sweet and very grainy, and there a mild ethanol burn far into the finish.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle: Smells like banana and some sugar. Color is muddy brown along with a small head. Taste is a spicy, fuity, with yeast and malt flavor. Texture is thick but easy to drink. Over all a pretty enjoyable beer!

Aug 16, 2009 I know Rodney; he’s in my brother’s brew club and I’ve judged with him! Strong banana/clove nose; a pretty solid brew!

May 1, 2008 So, I poured this and took a sip. Then I asked The Bride to sample it. She said that it was really tasty. So then I asked her what she thought the ABV was. "I dunno", she said "around 10%, I suppose". Therein lies the only real problem I had with this beer. It is indeed tasty, with really nice fruity, spicy notes - a lot of banana, clove, whiskey, bubblegum, dark bread flavors. But man, did it seem alcoholly. Or maybe I’m just overly sensitive, like some sort of big baby. I wonder if this would age well?

Jun 17, 2009 Deep from the back recesses of our second fridge, I find the 2008 Long shot. I hope this is still about the same taste as it would have been a year ago. The pour is a dark mahogany, with a medium light brown head. Aroma is buttery and wheaty. The flavor is true to the aroma with a nice molasses character. The finish is slow and satisfying. Good beer.
