Jul 12, 2004 A good relative of the other AdR. This has a lovely amber colour when poured and billowy head which lasts well and forms a great lacing in the glass. The nose is one of those typical complex wsinter fruit baskets with plums and pears and dried fruit in muscatel and dried apricot. Like a lot of its stable the bitterness is noted but not assertive and as usual forms a fine partnership with the underlying body of the beer. for the ABV however, I either am getting used to such power or am drinkiong a finely balanced beer, because I don’t really detect the hit carried by a beer of 9%. The back palate finishes well in a dryness that is reminiscint of a peppery shiraz.

Jul 11, 2004 Bottle: Sunset amber hue with floaties, fizzy but lasting head, minimal lace. The aroma has notes of currents, apple, pear, caramelized sugar, aromatic hops, flowers, pepper, and phenols. The taste has an initial heavy candi sweetness with a fruity overtone. Undertones of spices, rosebud, honeycomb, brandy, and oak. Mild bitterness and tangy citric finish. The feel is very lively, sharp and crisp. Alcohol induced warming on the finish. Complex yet not fully integreted, it has lots of potential but I don’t think it will age well. Still worth a try, quaffable indeed.

May 24, 2004 The beer as it resides in the glass after departing the 33cl brown bottle is a beclouded deep orange to almost brown, the head is moderate in size, semi-creamy in texture and the color an off white, the lace forms a velum like sheet to conceal the glass. The nose has a slight yeast aroma, over ripe plums comes to mind, with malt sweetness at the back with the start sweet and a nice malted grain presence, the top id middling in its feel to the palate. Finish is delectable in its acidity, the hops pleasing and spicy in their bite with the aftertaste quite dry, nice touch of warming in the tummy from the 9 percent ABV.

May 16, 2004 Dark amber body with a good size head. Lots of sweet malt and caramel or toffee with some dark fruits making cameos. Thanks for sharing Kimchee, even if you are going to call me an idiot for liking it more than the others ;)
