Sep 29, 2009 Darker brown color with a light head. Aroma is filled with roasty, burnt caramel, dark fruits, brown sugar, creme brulee, and vanilla. Flavor is a great mix of vanilla, light oak/bourbon, warm caramel, vinous fruit, and raw sugar. Nice mouthfeel that gets better as it warms. Truly a beer that is great at cellar temps and will hopefully be a recurring brew. Cheers to the Bruery for crafting a fine brew worthy of praise and redefining what such a style can be!

Jul 31, 2009 2009. Murky, lovely appearance. Alcohol but woody and grape notes, beautiful complexity. Hot, definitely hot, but excellent. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.

Jul 1, 2009 Making it legal. On tap at The Bruery. Pours a cloudy burnt orange color with a ridiculous tan/orange head. Aroma is lots of dried fruits like dates, figs, a good dose of caramel and buttery undertones. Some woody vanilla in there too. Flavor is more dark dried fruits, some nutmeg and clove, more of that buttery caramel and a bit salty. Palate is thick and chewy and carbonation is low to moderate. My favorite Bruery beer so far!

Sep 20, 2009 What a great beer! I get a lot of raisin or other dried dark fruit flavor. A pleasant level of oxidation. Substantial body. I love this beer!

Jul 11, 2009 Bottle from Southbay. A beautiful bottle. Really like the classic-style label. Anyway, this beer is verrrry similar to bourbon barrel angel’s share. Very light carbonation, very complex body, very spicey/alcohol finish. Verrrry good.

Aug 23, 2009 Tpd975... what can I say but thanks. Pours brown-red with an off-white head. Nose is hair-burning booze, raisins, booze, brandy, booze, plum, dates, figs, brown sugar, and more booze. Flavor is delicious with booze, raisins, booze, dates, figs, plums, brandy, and rich, delicious caramel. Exquisite beer. Full-bodied and, as IBrew2or3 would say, full of yum all the way.

May 24, 2009 Tap at the Anniversary party. This was an outstanding brew, I’m a little fuzzy on the particulars (will re-rate when I get a bottle), but I do remember alot of rich, dark fruity flavors, very nicely balanced and complex. This was my favorite of all the 5 Papiers.
