12oz bottle. Pours a beautiful clear, a bit viscous, glowing bright rich red auburn, gorgeous color, small fine white fizzy froth. Aroma similar to Automnal Fire, hint of cinnamon, rich grassy munich, a hint of alcohol, grabs at the nostrils, light fruitiness. Flavor follows, it’s Automnal Fire but iced, rich, sweeter, sticky (not in a bad way), slighlty boozier, so smooth and well melded flavors while maintaining an aggressive flavor profile. Medium/full bodied, seems a bit sticky and syrupy at first but the slightly sharp fluffy fizzy carbonation settles it to be very drinkable. Lovely, complete beer, well rounded high abv beer.

2003 bottle shared by psprings... a hazy orange tinted brown pour is capped by a small beige-ish white head. it smells and tastes like unfermented wort... throw in some toffee, stale grain and raisins. alcohol tries to dry it out and keep the medium-thick body from being too syrupy. meh...5/4/5/3/13/3.0

Bottle from Thickfreakness. Thanks! Pours orange reddish with short lived beige head. Smell is stale caramel, bandaids and it just smells old and not fresh at all. Unappealing nose. Taste is definitely better with caramel, some sweetness that is the main component and light hops. Alcohol is hidden fairly well, especially at this point. Medium to syrupy body and normal carbonation. Ok, but once was more than enough.

Bottle shared by psprings at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Hazy brown color pour with a small head. Caramel, fruit and sweet malt in the aroma. Flavor is a bit sweet, fruity and malty. A touch of alcohol on the finish. Not bad at all. Thanks Paul!

12oz bottle, 2003 vintage, shared by psprings at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Pours cloudy amber with a small beige head. The nose is maple syrup and ripe fruit. The taste is caramel, brown sugar and molasses. Medium bodied. Not bad, but a little past its prime. Thanks Paul!
