Jul 6, 2005 Bottle courtesy of Pailhead. Pours dark brown/ruby to the light. Aroma has lots of spice and smokiness. Reminds me more of a dubbel than a strong. Flavor was the same spice and smoke with some dark fruits. Long spicey aftertaste.

Jan 24, 2006 Thanks DrJay for the sample! Dark mahogony body topped with a thin mocha ring. Plums, brown sugar, yeast and hops in the aroma. This beer is sweet, sugared fruit and candy, with an approriate spicy profile to balance out the sweetness. Slight acidity, bitter/sweet finish, leaving a spiced malt aftertaste. Pretty damn good.

May 2, 2006 bottle. Pours a dark thick red with a quaint white head atop. The aroma is thick and syrupy of burned wood, tons of caramel, and a hint of berries. In the mouth a bit of lemony citrus is apparent with more of that thick caramel and notes of earthy spices. The huge amounts of caramel never seem to get overbearing and the finish exposes a touch of smokey, meaty flavor.

Jan 27, 2008 On tap at Stone’s 2008 Winter Storm. I was lucky enough to find a couple of bottles in the store a couple of months ago 2yrs after it was released, but this is first time I’m trying the beer. Amber color. Malty melanoiding aroma and sweetness. A hint of oxidation and sour. Very good.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Travis from Dunedin Brewing. Pours a mahogany color with thin tan head. Aroma is malty and sweet with notes of caramel, maple syrup, and bread. Flavor is much the same as the nose with some slightly woody notes toward finish. Generally medium body with a slight bitter hoppy note on finish.

Jan 2, 2007 Bottle thanks to whoever shared this one. Pours a deep red body with a decent size head. Taste is yeasty and very sweet. Slight cotton candy flavor and alcohol presence. Not sure if 6 more years would do anything great for this one.
