Jul 6, 2008 I thought this was straight-up genius. First off, the batch they were pouring on July 3rd, 2008 was 9.2%, and it was a brown monster: very full bodied (not dark roasted, but full like a broth) and concealed its alcohol very very well. Breadcrust was the top note, with a midsection of warm nut and a finish like... heat without burn. Very nice.

Jul 27, 2004 Murky brown brew with a faint head. Theres a slight tartness to this brew that reminds me of grape skins. Lots of rich plum flavor with a little caramel sweetness. Unusual but very enjoyable.

Sep 11, 2005 Sampled on 8/1/05: Clear, deep mahogany with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Sweet deep caramel toffee aroma has some nice light fruity complexity. Body has lots of dense, sweet malt with notes of cherries, toffee and butterscotch. Nicely balanced with a warming, complex finish. This seems a bit young and alcoholic, but should age very well.

Sep 17, 2007 On tap at Stone XIth Anniversary Festival. Beautiful clear mahogany color with red highlights and a thin head. Some malt sweetness in the aroma with both fruit and toffee. Quite sweet with light molasses flavors, ripe fruits, anise, toasted malt, and alcohol. Pleasant, moderate bitterness with some alcohol warmness in the finish.

Aug 5, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Looked forward to this one. Color was a dark amber/auburn. Aroma of fruit, caramel and must; hint of alcohol. Flavor was fruity, bready, caramel and alcohol. Some barleywine-like components here. Some sweetness throughout. Pretty tasty brew.
