Apr 20, 2009 Thanks Glen for sharing. Dull Ruby in color. This quad was very complex, sweet, with figs and fruits behind, some lingering finsih to enjoy. A really nice beer that continues the Smuttynose reputation

Apr 19, 2009 Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a slightly hazy ruddy brown color. The head was off white and left some lace behind. Smelled of chocolate, cherry, and a bit of anise. Medium to full bodied and semi-sweet. Boozy with toffee, raisin, and clove flavors.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle… mgumby10’s & hopscotch’s WtFFfFDotF Throwdown … Hazy burnt orange ale with a small, creamy, beige head. The sweet aroma is a malty, candied cornucopia of raisins and other dark fruits, brown sugar and toffee. Full-bodied and a touch syrupy with mellow carbonation. Big chocolaty, vinous sweetness in both the flavor and finish. Too sweet. Thanks to mgumby10 for providing the bottle!

Pours dark brown, beige head.

Good quad, and definitely a different approach to the style.

Apr 13, 2009 Rudy hue when the light shines through the umber body. Moderate taupe head and just a little bit of lace(3+). Dark fruit aromas, with figs and dates. Some yeast and I catch a bit of corn silage along with earthy toasted grain and nuts. Quite light in feel for the size of this brew. Light fruity malt flavors. Raisins, light currants and lightly fortified white wine flavors sneak in. Finish shows a hint of alcohol. The linger has a nice return of toasted malt and brown sugar. Not a ton of complexity, but a good strong ale for a cold spring day.
