ebarnes (213), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Oct 4, 2005 Not a bad beer. Strong, but not overwhelming. Flavor really changed with temperature. Warmer is better. TheEvilTwin (13), Texas, USA Sep 25, 2005 This beer was decent, but not overly impressive. Nice orange color, drop dead headand decent flavor. I had expected much more from this beer.
brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Sep 23, 2005 All I have to say is, “how warm are you supposed to drink this?”. Everything changed in this beer depending on the temperature. Had this to celebrate our successful completion of a TS-automotive audit. Initially poured a murky light brown with yellowish hints and very minimal lacing. However, as it warmed, it became clear amber and ultimately had a light head that was quick to dissipate. The aroma was initially heavy and syrupy though as it warmed it lightened up. The aroma generally stayed the same with alcohol, honey, minerals. The flavor was bourbon, alcohol, fig, spices (i.e., coriander, pepper) and orange peal. Warm alcoholic body, semi-sticky (when cold) and generally coating. You NEED to drink this at a high red wine temp IMO. The flavors are similar but the body is creamier and the flavors much more balanced. I’m giving it extra points for amazing transformation from cool to red wine temp... Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Sep 23, 2005 orange brown color. not much head which is disapppointing. delicious aroma. orange and a little alcohol. cherry cognac flavors and a little bready too. drinkability is poor; just too damn much alcohol flavor. 10% is not hidden well. my overall rating will be skewed higher than it deserves due to the nice nose. jazz88 (2236), San Francisco, California, USA Sep 19, 2005 Bottle. A brown tea color with a tan head. A strong fruit nose with apple, cider, and pears along with a pepper, cloves, candy, and Belgian spices. Sparkling and fizzy on the palate, it starts sweet and spicey and finishes dry. Dark fruit and apple flavors throughout with a sharp peper and spiced flavor. clifford0163 (93), Maryland, USA Sep 18, 2005 Its got a nice flavor to it and its has the nice warming feel from the alcholol as well but it was not worth the price tag of $11 dollars frankenkitty (1900), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Sep 18, 2005 Appears brandy-ish and sticky with red highlights and sediment in suspension. Not much of a head to start left a slim touch of foam ringing the glass to finish. Sweet, heavy, bready malts with honey, brandy and plums in the aroma. Thick, sweet & relaxing in flavor, malt-heavy. A slow-sipper with cinnamon lingering on the tongue for quite awhile to follow.
