Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some toffee notes and caramel. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt with distinctive notes of caramel and toffee. Fairly low hops presence which does fit the beer properly as accent should be put toward malt. Medium body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I very much appreciated that one and it reminds me of Youngs Old Nick.

Jul 20, 2008 341 ml bottle from glouglouburp, thanks Dany. Sweet aroma with notes of flowers, honey, yeast, slight touch of waxiness, liquid caramel and raisin. Pours a slightly cloudy brown amber with a large light beige bubbly head. Sweet flavor with notes of toffee, honey, flowal notes, and a slightly dry saw dust hidden in the background. Medium bodied with light carbonation and a slightly dry finish. while drinking this one I was wondering what it was and thought it was similiar to a barley wine and after reading the description and quite proud to say I called it correctly.

Jul 15, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a peachy light amber with a thin lasting head. Aorma is very fruity, estery, peach and pear- tropical fruits, fruity bubblegum notes and some apple cider- but not green apple acetaldehyde. Good sweet malty flavor- tons of sweet syrupy caramel sugar, light toasted bread, tons of fruits, apple, pear, and toffee. Good body and finish.

Jun 16, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, Glouglouburp! Pours dark burnished murky brown with golden brown highlights. Virtually no head or lace, just a bit of grayish film. Nice forward sharp orange pith, caramel, and brown bread nose. Medium body, some soft carb. Brown bread, caramel, and oranges on the mid-palate. Peppery finish. Nice stuff.

Jun 9, 2008 Pours a deep clear amber with a small bubbly head that dissipates almost immediately and leaves little lacing. The smell is very unique with a big candied barley sugar and toffee smell that complements the caramel malt undertones. Faint bit of hops in the nose as well, though subtle. Like the smell, a very distinctive sugary barley and malt taste. The sugary candy sweetness dominates but the boozy background is present throughout. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly syrupy with minimal carbonation. The big candied sugar presence and syrupy mouthfeel keep the drinkability down a little for me, but this is an extremely interesting and unique beer.
