Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a snifter. Clear Amber with small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is caramel malt.

Bottle pours out a amber brown topped with a small head. nose is sweet malts toffee caramel some pit fruit and brown sugar. Taste is more of the heavy sweetness toffee caramel plenty of pit fruit notes and a booze end.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06 pour hazy copper with thin tan head and solid floaters. Nose caramel, toffee, green apple, light oxidation. Taste similar to nose but with light peppery spice. Some honey sweet mid palate. Still drinks reasonable for an older beer.

bottle, this held up very nicely, shimmery orange/amber pour, fuller body. boozy sweetness, caramel maltiness, dark fruits. nice mouthfeel. Enjoyable

Rating from 11/22/2010.....Red amber color with some off white beige foam....looks real good in the glass....sweet malt cherries and some alcohol on the sniff...I get honey too...Refreshing yet solid--Light bready rye taste mingled with a distinct bitterness and alcohol burst--the honey and cherries don’t show up as strong as in the aroma for sure--the bitterness is overpowering in the finish---as it sits a nice bright tart fruit comes through like a cherry/cranberry with orange as well--good, but I need to age one and return to it

"Kinger (who supplied my beer) pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. more time may mellow things out a bit. as it is, it’s a little hot and overly sweet. there are some positives, though, and it has potential for aging. like a sweeter, stronger bavarian hefe. less clove, more citrusy hops, but pretty sweet...almost cloying but not quite. the warming effect is nice, maybe a touch overdone. splitting this would have left a better impression...a full bottle was too much at the end of the night."

Bottle thanks to Mora2000....Pour is copper with no head ...Nose is dark fruits, Spice, Dry, oxidation. ..Taste is Dark fruit, spice, dry,

Bottle opened May 2014. Orange pour with a white head. Aroma has a lot of sweet alcohol with some oranges and wheat thrown in. The flavor has some caramel malt as well as some wheat and alcohol. The beer is oxidized a bit but I think it doesn’t detract too much from the flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Probably past its prime, but not drinking badly at this point.

Bottle split with Ray Ray. Pours murky amber with no head. Notes of caramel, banana, dried fruit. Medium to full body, warming alcohol presence. This is probably past its prime at this point

6/26/2010. From bottle. Deep amber color with a white head. Caramel, sugar, spice, light fruit and boozy aromas. Sweet caramel flavors, but somewhat lacking balance.
