Uklar rødbrun med næsten intet skum. Lidt støvet i duften, tørrede frugter, karameller. sprut, chokolade, allehånde og vanille i duft og smag. Der er også noget krydderkage. Ikke meget biterhed.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Aug 22, 2008 2005 bottle: Ugh, way too hot. I was really looking forward to this one. It was in the refridgerator for 2 weeks (long story) and first consumed right out of the fridge and alcohol dominated the nose and palate. craftycarl21 (563), South Hero, Vermont, USA

Aroma is fruity with sweet apricot, alcohol, grape, caramel, and vanilla. Flavor is beauteous, hops at start, sweet malt and fruitiness follows, and caramel sticks at the end. Palate is nice- not too watery, lingers nicely. Very nice beer. Jblauvs (605), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 16, 2008 pours a dark orange amber with a soft creamy light tan head which lasts as a film... lots of spotty and drippy lacing. something tingles the nostrils... spice or alcohol. i don’t know but it’s not unpleasant... very rich aroma of caramel, malty cereal grain, vanilla/oak and a nice mild bourbon note. the flavor is reminiscent of a well aged vintage BW... low sweetness (yet it’s still sweet) with a ton of malty grain almost like it’s been aged and oxidized with some vanilla, caramel, citrus/orange, wood and spicy bourbon. spicy finish with abv% coming in late really helps to offset the sugar level. medium to full body. really creamy texture and smooth mouth feel. it’s not sticky! the entire bottle is a bit much but one glass is really good!...
