Feb 8, 2010 Bottle of batch 72 that I’ve been holding onto for probably about a year. Pours a lightly hazed caramel brown with a voluminously large gently tanned beige head. Caramel, toffee, toasted marshmallows, and a bit of cocoa and cardboard. After the Cherry Adam from the Wood a few days ago I had slightly higher hopes for this. Hopefully it tastes better than it smells. Medium bodied, sweet and malty, full of caramel, light sweet fruit. Big malty finish with some nice warming alcohol. Tasty.

Feb 7, 2010 Rating #800! bottle, batch 76. pours a deep brown with a quarter inch tan head... deep smoke aromas along with some piney hops and a touch of dark fruit... solid body with some bitterness up front, a touch of alcohol heat on the sides and dark fruit notes including raisins, dates and figs... lovely bitter finish with some slight caramel notes, sweet malts and a bit of alcohol... intensely young... looking forward to trying batch 70 later on...

Feb 6, 2010 Pours almost black, with a long lasting tan head. Very complex and rich, with notes of smoke, chocolate, and malt. Long lasting palate. Very intiguing, yet still quite drinkable. Thumbs way up on this one.

Feb 5, 2010 Bottle thanks to scrizzz. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is of chocolate, port like notes, prunes, plums, some roasted notes and sour smoke, yeast and doughy bread, woody and spicy notes. Nice. Massive flavour, loads of sweetness, with a sourness and light bitterness balancing it out. Vanilla appears on in the finish. A pleasant warming alcohol touch too. Thick and oily on the tongue, with just enough carbonation to keep it heavy and creamy, just barely not flat. Kind of like a nice imperial stout aged for a year or two. Good stuff. Very good.

Feb 2, 2010 Nice full, meaty nose, with some tar and ruby port like aromas. Bright sweetness on the front of the palate, which morphs into a warm, toffee, coffee laced mid and back palate. Great creamy texture matched by a great bit of bitterness to round it out. Really nice.

Jan 26, 2010 Bottle. Pours a dark brown beer with a lightbrown head. The aroma is alcohol, roasted and fruit. The flavor is likewise alcohol and with some smoke and sweetness. The palate leaves some alcoholwarmth. Overall a really good beer.

Jan 26, 2010 beh ke dire.. l’eleganza è una delle cose piu difficili da raggiungere in una birra.. l’adam è un esempio di old ale perfetta... equilibrata morbida rotonda con note maltate bilanciatissime tra di loro e un uso del luppolo impressionante.. è un esempio di mestria
