Oct 17, 2009 Deep amber pour with a small off-white head. Caramel, honey, vanilla aromas with a pretty similar taste. Something a little wierd in there that I’m not really too keen on.... perhaps it’s the barrel-aged aspect. Well-hidden alcohol.

Oct 17, 2009 Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Strong oak aroma, tannin and vanilla, with some bready and caramel malt. Sweet caramel flavour with strong oak notes, and a medium bitter finish. Too sweet

Oct 15, 2009 Blood orange color with a diminishing khaki colored head. Stewed fruit aromas, with date, plumes and plums coming to mind. HInts of tropical fruit as well. There is a mild burn on the nose, but does not really distract. If you like a strong fruity smelling brew this one should suit you fine. Actually the malt seems to come out a bit as it rests, with caramel and toasted malt scents. Full feel, with a very light carbonation that floats it across the palate. Caramel in the front. Middle has some strong herbal characteristics. Oak in the finish completely takes over and actually becomes a bit distracting. Woody in the finish. The overpowering components take away from a few of the parts that unless you look for them are lost. Definitely a strong ale.

Oct 14, 2009 650 ml bottle from EZ Liquors. Pours a deep lear red body with a small quikly fading white head. Aroma is complex with notes of wood, butter, coconut, almonds, alcohol, dried dark fruits. Palate is the weakest point of the beer with lots of carbonation for such a full bodied syrupy beer. Flavor is similar to the aroma but the flavors are tuned down a tad. Really good compared to Series 1 and I might have to grab another bottle to age for a few years to see what will happen to this one.

Oct 4, 2009 Bomber. Clear, ruby-tinged copper with a nice lasting little ring of cream. Aroma is dark fruit, merlot, caramel. Flavors of caramel, light chocolate, dates and dry sherry, with a nice touch of oak, nuts and banana on the tail end. Medium body is smooth and dried well by the oak and alcohol. Not as hot as the Cuvee #1 and a much smoother, well-blended flavor as well.
