Toasty caramel and toffee, pumpernickle, mild butterscotch. A bit of earthy bitterness to balance. Decent. noncaloric (616), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Thanks to machfive55. Distinctive, penetrating pine hops aroma with caramel in the background. Pours clear dark brown with a thinnish beige head, temporary spots of lace. Flavor has a definite hops bitterness; the malts have a slightly oxidized, resinous tea flavor with some smoke and toffee. The yeast comes somewhere between soy sauce and vegemite. It’s not off by any means but strikes my palate as odd. Altogether kind of a mashup, a neat experiment. Medium bodied with a warm, penetrating alcohol element. Dubbercody (214), Vancouver, Washington, USA

Interesting beer, at first you don’t pick up on the warming sensation, but by mid to lower pint...the warmth pops out a bit in the cheeks.
Looking at it as a tasty beer, it shines right through in that respect. Highly quaffable, QUITE easy to drink. Could be partly the age on it. I’d drink this again if I could.
Pretty neat concept of Troegs going back to the homebrewing beginnings of making it up as you go along. markwise (1186), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA

The aroma has notes of prunes, dirty figs, dried cherries, some brighter fruit notes, brown sugar and a decent alcohol sense. The taste is smooth and understated with malts, floral hops and shriveled dark fruitiness. sebletitje (1925), Tampa, Florida, USA
