Jun 28, 2008 Pretty pour, looks tasty. NIce chocolatey fig flavors come off the top as well as dried fruits. Dusty character to the scent. NIce warming chocolate almost wheaty flavor. A long and warming finish is quite elegnt with a lasting malty richness and features a quiet lemon zestiness and an oaky followthrough. Very enjoyable.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle from SoLan, thanks! 11% on the label. Orange dark brown color. Malt, plums, blackberries and a hint of oak in the aroma. Sweet, syrupy, malty flavor with plums, peppermint, oak and earthy hops. Blackcurrant, vanilla. Slightly alcoholic, but still well balanced.

Jun 27, 2008 Sugary caramel and toffee. Nice hops reminiscent of Bigfoot. Very rich. Palate is smooth, slightly sticky, but somehow slightly watery. I’m not sure how it works but somehow they balance thick and sticky with watery to make both appear. Finishes dry but lots of candy sweetness.

Jun 24, 2008 Pours a deep copper color with a red hint. Has a small beige head on it that lingers for a few minutes, but is gone shortly. A touch of fruity banana in the aroma, with a good bit of floral hops. Brown sugar and raisins. Still smells a little bit hot. Some time would probably do it well. The flavor is a creamy roasted caramel with some sweet toffee and a little fruit. Definitely has an alcohol presence, but not that overpowering for 10%. A slight hop bitterness that is kind of surprising but balances out the intense sweetness nicely. The hop character is almost a peach cotton candy. The body is excellent with a very thin carbonation, but a palate like half and half. Leaves a slight bitterness and warming alcohol on the tongue.

Malty creamy taste with an explosive bitter hop bite. Leaves a malty bitter aftertaste. Very tasty, bu would be nice with a little aging.

Jun 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber color with essentially no head. Nose is of sweet caramel malt with some alcohol. Taste is also the caramel malt, yet with some hint of peach. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy with a little alcohol present. This one has aged approx six months as the alcohol was too strong when it was fresh. Liked it a lot better with a little aging.

Jun 11, 2008 Darrrk amber color, minimal head. Malt, caramel nose. Palate is a bit syrupy, not overdone (due to the crisp carbonation on the front end- Makes for an interesting mouth-feel) Carmel, dark fruits, hops, spice notes, molasses back end. Good beer, let it settle for two minutes before drinking. Alcohol well hidden for a pretty high gravity beer.
