| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 14, 2009 2008. Bottle from scrizz. Wow. Orange-amber color with a pencil thin head that’s short lived. Complex aroma with cherry, candi sugar, toffee, caramel, plums, oak. The flavors are incredibly smooth; tobacco, oak, sweet toffee, caramel, candy apples. A controlled hoppy spiciness in the finish that’s a perfect compliment to the sweet flavors. This is a damn fine beer. Thanks Clint!
