Sep 21, 2008 Pours amber with a decent head. Aroma of caramel, spicy and earthy hops. Some sweetness, solid bitterness at the end. Alcohol comes through a little.

Sep 5, 2008 Poured from a 11.2oz swing-top bottle and served in a shaker. This beer poured a murky, rudy brown with a thin head of tan foam that slightly lasted. The aroma of the beer was made up of super sweet toffee and caramel, brown sugar, a touch of chocolate, and also some dark fruits. Very malty and barley wine-like. The flavor was heavy on the caramel, while also containing notes of fruit, dates, and some mildly bitter roast. The mouthfeel was full-bodied with a light stickiness. Light carbonation. A nice, malty drink. Not overly sweet. Decent.

Sep 4, 2008 Extremely sweet...almost sticky and syrupy. Aroma and flavor display brown sugar, caramel, toffee, maple and dark fruit. Raisin-like color with a small khaki head. Hides the 8.5% well.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle, and I almost want to give it extra points for such a cool bottle. Deep amber brown pour with fluffly little tan head. Smells like burnt sugar, malt, caramel, molasses, and a surprising little hop kick. Notes of licorice, all the malty goodness described above, and some hops. Not very yeasty. Reminiscent of a barley wine. Solid.

Sep 2, 2008 Kick ass bottle @ Maproom, so I needed to taste an Alt, why not! Bright dark amber w/ creamy finger of pale tan foam. Aroma of grassy hops & sticky caramel. Light, mildly sticky feel. Flavours are well-balanced w/ a light herbal spiciness. Overall not something that wowed me but a soild brew.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours cloudy brown with a large tan head. Nose is molasses/sugary. Flavor is surprisingly peppery, along with the heavy malt/molasses flavor. Also raisin and floral hops. Oily and syrupy mouthfeel. Pretty good.

Aug 19, 2008 Deep, dark brown, ruby. Compact, tan head, sticky lace. Deep. strong malty aroma, molasses, dark bread, caramel, hint of oxidaton. Medium full body, lucsious malts, nuts (reminds me of an vintage harvest ale) very nice in mouth, soft, bit sticky as warms, hints of oxidation in taste but not too horrible. Hops come through, adding nice flavor and backing bitterness. Would love to try a really fresh sample for this has a bit f age I presume. But a gem of a brew.
