Hoppy pine aroma. Mid brown coloured a little rich on the palate and spicy with a crisp and slightly bitter lasting finish.

Jul 13, 2009 Nothing I can comment on hasn’t already been stated before, probably more eloquent that I can too. Just a world class beer. Shared it with my brother, and buddies Gary and Mike D. Chock full of flavors and aromas and it was just an explosion of goodness.
The beer pours out a cloudy, chestnut brown color with a thin 1/2" white head. Aroma has a near perfect blend of french toast, caramel, earth/wet dirt, dark fruit, light chocolate and old leather. The flavors really mirrored the aroma blow for blow. French toast (with the maple syrup), dark fruits, caramel chews, toffee, lightly floral, wet paper with a nice spiced finish. Just incredible to enjoy, and thankful I kept it this long for a milestone review.

Jul 6, 2009 Sampled in 2009 at Noogfest High 5. The body was mahogany with a yellowish head. The smells were like caramel frosted cake donuts with some molasses. Very sweet. The taste was sweet caramel and iced tea. This was fairly malty with a slightly oxidized finish. Well made and still very good.

Jun 21, 2009 750 ml shared at RNH Charity event. Pours a deep dark hazy coppery rusty amber with a big fizzy head- diminishes slightly. Aroma is slight metallic, some fresh hops but hints of staleness creeping in- cheesy, funk, leathery, orange peel, and lots of big caramel malts. Flavor is moderately hoppy still, turing slightly cheesecloth like, cheese rind, lgiht salty oxidation toffee, molasses, and a big sharp dark crystal twang in the end. Still holding up ok, but also past its prime.

Flavor is much of the same with a slight warming effect. Some lingering hop bitterness and alcohol sweetness. Very much full bodied beer. Awesome!
