Jul 14, 2009 08 Bottle - Thanks JCB! - Pours a clear, dark reddish amber with a small off white head...aroma is rye grass and sticky malt, some floral hops as well...flavour is smooth up front that turns into a pleasant burnt sugar bitterness...not terribly complex, nice and creamy, lingering taste of perfume and caramel...alcohol completely hidden..great find...

Jul 12, 2009 (12oz bottle) Pours a medium brown with good head and big oily bubbles on top. Great lacing on the glass. Nose is rye and light caramel. Taste is mildly bitter hops with sweet caramel backing it up. Oily and light body with superb mouthfeel.

Very fruity and hoppy aroma. Bronze coloured strong in alcohol and fruity with a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

Jul 11, 2009 Bottle at The Winking Lizard into pint - this is my one gripe with the place is everything is poured into a pint and they always pour it badly, what gives?! Anyways...Pours a dark ruby color with an off white ring but no real head (thanks pint glass!).Taste is like a low abv barley wine. Subtle hoppy bitterness in aroma and definitely get the sweetness from the palm sugar in both the nose and flavor but with the alc. more upfront in the flavor.

Jul 10, 2009 Served cellar temp into snifter (Thanks Skinnyguy!). Pours a beautiful dark, but crystal clear, red color with a big creamy frothy off-white head that leaves some nice lace -- though it did take quite a high and aggressive pour to stir up the head. The aroma is richy and full of malty goodness. A warm breadyness, christmas cake, not much hops, some cherries. Flavor is good, though less robust and full. There is more of a hop presence, but it is all hop bitterness, which is alright, but simply throws the beer off balance without any hop flavor. Still enjoyable. Creamy with minimal carbonation and a medium body. Overall: great look, feel, and aroma, which lead the flavor to be a bit of a disappointment. Good beer on the whole though.

Jul 5, 2009 Aluminum bottle shared with the guys at the Barrios’ 500th Swallow Tasting. Good clear red pour with minimal tannish ring of head. Nose of piney citrus hops and caramel. Flavor is a bit bitter but has a brown sugar quality. Nice finish. Cool name.
