Jul 1, 2005 The beer decamps the 12-ounce brown bottle a reddish-brown with a modest semi-creamy light tan head that disappears rather quickly leaving a fine covering of lace upon the glass. Nose is sweet and sour, hints of Oak, caramel, malt, and of course, a bit of fusel alcohol, a pleasant sniff for sure, start is quite sweet, the malt profile pleasant, the top moderate in feel. Finish has a stern acidity with a nice hop spiciness, quite dry and slightly tart aftertaste and yes, a bit of alcohol bitterness, certainly a belly warmer, but at 14.5 percent alcohol, not as brutal as “The Beast”, and I am sure it will age gracefully.

Jun 30, 2009 Aroma is smoke, rich candied malt. Hazy orange, pours a tiny white head, leaves a slight film on the side of the glass. Taste still has a slight smokiness, with fine malt, treacle and butterscotch. Full bodied, well blanced, tongue is "treating itself like an amusement park." Had this for about three years, Great stuff!

Mar 16, 2007 Very odd aroma of sweet cheese and honey. The pour is a darker orange with a thinnish white head. The flavor is sweet oak hops. not quite syrupy. But very full bodied. The flavor is highlighted with sweet vanilla. Very interesting, not an easy drink, but very much worth the money.

Mar 29, 2006 12 oz bottle. bottled in 2005.
Hazy amber, very thin head. Alcohol coats the glass.
Aroma is sweet with notes of melon, apple, honey, apricot. Wood is there but very faint.
Flavor was sweet. Port, vanilla, sugar, gooey caramel, honey. Just enough oaky tannins to keep it from becoming cloying.
Liquid desert. I think I killed my sweet-tooth for the month.
