Dec 10, 2009 Pours a three finger light cream head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Cloudy amber/brown amber color, some floaties. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Honey nose. Flavor is a mellow honey with a hop backbone. Pricey at $11.54 for a 550ml bottle from Glen Beverage Glen, NH.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours a clear dark coppery amber with a fairly thick white head. Aroma is strong, yeasty and fruity - mainly pear and banana - with just a hint of malt. Mouth-filling sassy flavor is malty and yeasty with a slightly bitter hoppy undertone and hints of banana, caramel and molasses. Texture is fairly rough and fizzy, and it leaves a somewhat bitter but not nasty aftertaste. Worth a try.

Dec 2, 2009 550ml bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a 2 finger creamy light tan head. The nose is oaky vanilla, light tobacco and caramel. The taste is raisins, caramel, wood and a touch of sour fruit with some alcohol in the finish. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. Nice beer. Thanks again Dan!

Dec 1, 2009 bottle: tulip: this brew smelled and tasted like a barley wine. The oak barrels really come through in this beer, loads of aged, dark sugars, roasted caramels, wood and tons of booze. Very hard on the senses, overload of taste, smell and feel. Deep, rich and complex almost syrupy in taste yet thin in body. Good beer... overwhelming is a good word.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David Cohen. Hazy brown color with a beige head. Really rich, malty, honey-ish & caramelly aroma with dark fruits, vanilla and oak. Very sweet malty flavor with caramel, raisins, prunes, plums, alcohol, and a bitter spicy finish. Medium to full-bodied, slightly syrupy.

Nov 29, 2009 Ok aroma, sweet fruits (pear?). Appearance is good with very little head that dissipates quickly. Color is ruby red/copper. Very smooth mouthfeel. Sweetness grows as beer warms. This beer has a kick but the sweetness is weird and I don’t like it.

Nov 28, 2009 Wow, I wanted to try this beer pretty bad so when I was sticker shocked by the price I had to buckle down and get it anyway. Curse-d $11.99 half liter. Pours deep copper with cherry red hues and firm light tan head. The aroma is sweet with a bit of booze, maple syrup, ripe cherries and sweet malts. The taste begins as sweet as the aroma smells with malts, maple syrup, a touch of vanilla, faint oak and some slick bourbon booze. It ends with some tasty caramel, slight roast and light amounts of sweet malts.
