Sep 19, 2007 Poured dark amber with fluffy tan head. Aroma of caramel malt. Big sweet malty taste with an alcohol finish. Drinkable but why past its prime. I need a fresh one then I’ll rerate.

Sep 11, 2007 Thanks to my 1st secret santa MIBromeo. Pours a dark clear red-brown with a yellowish head. Some lacings. Strong hops aroma, lots of grape fruit. Powerfull (because it needs to be) malty/caramel back bone. Full bodied. Medium carbonation. Nice long hoppy finish bitter with grtape fruit aroma.

Sep 4, 2007 2006 vintage. Dark and cloudy reddish-brown body. Some sediment reveals itself as the glass empties. Big, rocky off-white head that settles to a thin film. Thick, patchy lacing lines the glass. The aroma is big and malty, with ample amounts of nearly-burnt caramel, and slightly piney, citrus hops. The flavor is again very malty, with caramel playing a huge role, as well as toasted bread and citrus hops. The taste was mildly astringent, though this bottle might be a little past its time. Medium body that was a little sticky, though not overly cloying. Relatively smooth, save for the astringency issue. Very good beer that I think would be even better when completely fresh. I’ll re-rate this one when the 2007 comes out.

Sep 2, 2007 Updated: Apr 18, 2009Bottle pours a little cloudy, almost clear but looks great. Dark amber with shades of bright red. Aroma of strong perfume hops. Should be made into a cologne. Taste is Rich like a bock. 2006 series very malty and strong, great balance with the wonderful hops. Delicious and sweet, a little creamy and finishes nicely.

Aroma: the 2005 has the rich carmel malt aroma with strong earthy hops, the 2006 aroma is much lighter in both malt and hops
Flavor: 2006 has nice balanced carmel malt flavor with the hops, even though oxidized the 2005 still has a stronger earthy hop flavor and a bit more sweetness where the 2006 is quite dry, body on the 2006 might be a bit thinner as well, overall I prefer the 2006 because of the toned down hop flavor

Aug 29, 2007 Bottle acquired in trade with CaptainCougar - thanks, man! Wow, I was expecting a great beer, but this was excellent. Pours murky chestnut brown with a creamy, sticky tan head. Nose of sweet bready malt, caramel, and maybe just a touch of anise accompanies aromatic citric hops. Flavor is sublimely balanced, but surprisingly on the sweet side, with a caramel-laced fruitiness balanced by grapefruit in the finish. I finished my only bottle far too quickly, it is gone now, and I am sad.
