Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. 2008 vintage. Pours deep copper with an off-white head that doesn’t lasts too long. Aroma is fairly light with notes of caramel fudge and sweet malt as well as a whiff of alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet and has toffee, maple syrup, port wine and malt all standing out. Palate is surprisingly thick and sticky. I would love to try this beer with about five years under its belt, but as it is, the current vintage is quite nice, but very sweet.

Sep 13, 2009 It poured a clear dark golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. It had a weak alcoholic smell. It had a strong taste of caramell, malt and alcohol. Better balance then the Hellers version, more like a barley wine.

Sep 2, 2009 Bottle...several years old. On the low end of carbonated, I liked the draft of this much better, but aroma of burnt caramel, and flavor of the same with pepper, orange zest, and dried fruit. Much like a cognac, tingly, like Grand Marnier. Enjoyable, but again, loved the draft much more.

Aug 21, 2009 An Amber colored beer, with an off-white head. It disappears quickly. The aroma of sweet caramel malt, with fruits. The taste of caramel with alcohol, fruits like cherries. The aftertaste is a little bitter, with alcohol and it is warm.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle, 2008 vintage. Pours lifeless reddish mahogany, will none-to-little head and carbonation. Aroma of sweet fruit and molasses. Similar on the palate, with notes of caramel and yeast. Well blended alcohol, and warming mouthfeel, and would imagine that it would improve with age.
