Feb 27, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a deep ruby color with a small white head. Aroma is hoppy, malt, citrus, grains. Flavor is seeped in alcohol, with a very surprising crisp hop taste to it. Impressed, but like many of these beers - are difficult to consume when dealing with only one person drinking.

May 30, 2009 Very big thanks to HogTownHarry for sharing this with me. Another Southern Tier product I’ve been wanting to try. Appearance: Ruby red, large white head. Aroma: toast & hops & pine & acorns & mangos & caramel & hops again, malt, not like a barley wine at all, more of an IPA. Flavour: Caramel, vodka, lemon, pine, yeast, sweet, alcohol, long bitter finish, awesome.

Jul 4, 2008 Pours a a nice brown color with an off white head. Aroma is of dark frui9ts, malts, and hops. Flavor is very sweet and malty with a small amount of hop finish to balance things out. Hides alcohol very well.

May 7, 2009 On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a clear ruby orange to brown with a thin white beige head. Plums and prunes, dark fruits, chocolate, and a really big pile of hops. Flavors are similar, dark stone fruit, and malt. Finishes with a nice bit of citrus hops. Really nice hoppy finish with no big alcohol visible.

Aug 5, 2008 Deep brown appearance with a small, off white head and moderate lacing. Slowly developing, nicely balanced aroma of caramel malts playing off the citrusy, resinous hops. Earthy taste is fruity, malty and bittersweet. Notes of citrus, softer fruits, caramel, toffee, biscuits and whole grains. Full bodied mouthfeel with a decent amount of carbonation. Alcohol is noticable but not overwhelming. Long lasting finish.

Apr 23, 2009 Rum raisin and toasty aroma, makes me wonder why I never make french toast with raisin bread. anyway. Deep ruby red, marshmallow head. More marshmallow, though this time in the sip, golden and roasted. Some wood and honey in the finish, creamy texture.

Jun 8, 2009 Oh it’s been a while since I had one of these and man is this a tasty one. All sweet and malty with a touch of hops to tide you over. Pours dark copper and a thin off white foam that sticks around for a while. Aroma is molasses and a little bit of citrus. Getting some nut in here the second time around. Flavor is the aforementioned sweet bomb with huge caramel. Some prune and raisin fruit flavors come through and then the bitter pine and grapefruit on the finish. Leaves a little bit of a hot alcohol taste in your mouth. Pretty well balanced and enjoyable all in all.

Sep 19, 2007 22oz - First brew 2007 - Aroma is very strong. Raisin, prune, molasses, alcohol, brown sugar and sharp hop bitterness. Pours mahogany with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is a bit more "old house" than the aroma but otherwise matches. Palate is sticky with the alcohol there but not overpowering. Mellow, flavorful and tasty.
