Aug 3, 2008 On tap at Stone Bistro for Ratebeer summer gathering. Aroma is of aged malt with a slight hoppiness. Cloudy butterscotch with a tan head. Fruty flavor with strong malt and medium hoppiness. Slight apples with strong caramel and slight vanilla. Low carbonation but extremely smooth. Good beer! Easy to drink and tasty.

Jul 9, 2008 Had a bottle of this that i recently was able to scoop on ebay for $19.99...so sometimes beer on ebay isn’t a bad thing. Actually aged pretty well and was a smooth drink. Pours a cloudy brown with a thin tan head. Sweet malty nose with some dark fruit in there also. Solid flavor with a little chocolate. Some people seemed to find hops still, but I think they are long gone. Still well done though...glad it aged well thus far.

Mar 4, 2008 3rd Annual Woodshop Tasting, 3/1/08. Thanks Chris! 22 oz bomber. A bit of oxidation had set in on this big malty, toffee loaded palate cleanser. Smooth and elegant. Tasty.

Feb 17, 2008 Reviewed 6-16-05...This beer pours brown, with a quarter inch thick head. Foam dissipates to a ring with swirls in the middle. It smells of nutty caramel malt, but there is a noticeable roasted, coffee-like smell. No hops are detected.
Wow! This is not my preferred style of beer, but I am digging this beer. Then nutty, caramel malt is present. There is also a pleasant chocolate-coffee flavor. The hops are barely detectable.
The mouthfeel is a bit thick for me. It is similar to a stout with a somewhat thin mouthfeel. The drinkability is high, as I could drink this all night.
