Sep 4, 2006 bottle.. Odeed is the shizzle, always hooking up the good brews. Lovely aroma, chocolate caramel, same as the color. Taste is bitter and tart with a hint of yeast.

Aug 21, 2006 22oz - Aroma is pungent dark toffee, carmel, prune, date, and black licorice. Pours deep dark brown with small head and good lacing. Flavor is sour, but I don’t think it is what the brewer intended. I had it fresh and remember it being a little sweeter? Still good with loads of carmel, toffee, and dark fruit. Palate is tart and sticky. I liked it better fresh, not sure if it will make it to 2012.

Aug 1, 2006 thanks to secret santa (JPDIPSO i think) pours a deep ruby red with a small slightly brown head. aroma is slightly fruity and spicy despite the fact that they say they used no spice in this beer
there is a light malt and yeastieness that is like. taste is much of the same with a bit of roastiness. damn fine beer. it is a shame i will probably never have another.

Jul 27, 2006 Pours dark brown with a creamy, thin tan head. Some light lacing. Smell is rich caramel. Light dark fruit aromas. Toffee and a light earthiness.
Taste takes the smell and extrapolates it to higher levels. More rich caramel and toffee. Lightly spicy (clove, black pepper and cinnamon). Hint of dark chocolate (!). Strident hops as it finishes. Warming alcohol. Mouth is rich and thick. Sticky finish and aftertaste. All things said, damn yummy. Very enjoyable beer and goes down way too smooth for words. Good stuff.

Jul 19, 2006 Clear dark red with a small off-white head. Caramel smell. Sweet and malty beer with some fruity notes. Toffee/caramel dominates. I was disappointed by this one. I had this 05 next to an 06 at the BCTC 2006. Being an engineer I calculated that 06/05 = 1.2, therefore the Vertical 06 is 20% better than the 05, and honestly that’s pretty accurate.

Jul 18, 2006 Dark reddish clear brown with a thin off white head. Sweet malty caramel aroma, with ginger notes, sweet candy and alcohol. In mouth, sweet candy sugar, caramel, licorice and oranges. A good year! Rich and alcohol in mouth. On tap at BCTC 2006.
