Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at GBBF 08. Rich, deep brown colour with a small cream head and an aroma of dark fruits and caramel. Good caramel flavours in the mouth, helped by a very smooth palate. This isn’t that complex but it is a good strong ale, that puts me in mind of English barley wines.

Aug 5, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear brown with a small off white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is subdued - chocolate malts, grains and a touch of maple and alcohol.
The flavor is sweet chocolate and maple/molasses with a slightly bitter charred alcoholic finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with smooth carbonation.
Overall, an OK beer. It’s not very well balanced between the the cloying sweetness and the charred alcohol.
