Commercial Description:
Medium copper in color and with a suprisingly crisp finish, this beer is meant to be savored like a fine cognac.

Bottled - tasted blind An amber veer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also an acidic edge. The flavor old with notes of over ripe fruit and oxidation, and the mouthfeel is sticky.

(Bottle 100 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Pours a very cloudy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Vinous port aroma with a light tartness. Quite full-bodied with sweet caramel and overripe fruit. Low carbonation though and a very subdued bitterness. 260708

From bottle #29 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours hazy orange to amber with lacing off-white head. Spiced and dry woody aroma. Flavour is dry malty towards dense fruity and malty. Lingering malty and fruity into the finish. Light acidic and bitter finish. Smooth yet powerful.

(bottle) Clear red copper with minimal head. Aroma is sweet, barley wine-style malty/hoppy, fruity (berry?), slight alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, some floral hoppiness, fruity, very smooth. Hides it's alcohol very well. Very nice English-style barley wine.

Bottle... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Cloudy caramel-colored ale. Not much of a head. Caramelly, lactic nose. Full-bodied. Seems to be a bit infected as the chewy caramel base is tainted a bit by misplaced acidity and very effervescent carbonation. Tangy, moderately bitter finish. Not bad, but more care should have been taken in either the bottling or handling of this beer. Video = http://homepage.mac.com/maltajo/RATEBEER/iMovieThe
