Aroma of fruit, toffee, cloves (?) and honey. Very smooth, warm notes of toffee, caramel, and dark fruits. Delicious.

Up til now I’ve trying anything I can get my hands on; from now on I’ll focus on the best that I can get.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Big thanks to luttonm for this gem. Pours a murky bronze with a small head. Aroma is delicious - fresh, crisp pears, with a bit of yeasty esters. Just slightly grassy. Flavor brings out that grassiness, taking a little bit away, but this is really, really tasty. Super smooth - liking it a lot. MrChopin (706), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to kegbear! Tepid red-mahogany with a coaxed, small yellow head of bubbles. Tea and toast lead the rich malt aroma. Flavor has some nice complexity and is noticeably sweeter than the nose with bubble gum, prune, raisin, toast, some leaf, lemon, and alcohol at the end. Despite the dreary looks and thinning body, this is still quite good, particularly the nuanced flavor. jredmond (1090), New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep burgundy orange, brown body with nice white lacing. Aroma sharp alcohol. Taste is candy apple and sharp alc. Pwn3d (1137), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2009 The first beer of BQ’10 purchased from half time in Poughkeepsie. Pour is deep hazy burgundy. Tastes of Belgian spice, yeast, Apples, dark malts and nuts. A bit boozy. Pipper (272), Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Had this paired with some homemade spicy lasagna and it complimented the andouille sausage ragu perfectly with its own spiciness and well-balanced body. Dark auburn pour, nice boozy warming after-affects with dark fruit flavors and some spice. Maybe my favorite Alesmith out of the line-up I’ve had so far. timbeer (61), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle [750] shared with MatSciGuy. Brightred/garnet color with a lasting fizzy head. Modest dusty aroma, caramel and dark fruit tastes. Light and spritsy on the tongue. I really like this beer - it’s got a good bit of complexity but it’s very well balanced so that no taste or aroma dominates the senses.
