Dec 7, 2006 12oz bottle. I’m assuming this is an ’05 vintage as I bought it last January. Poured a deeper and slightly hazy mahogany color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of strong caramel, toffee, orange peel, and brown sugar. Tastes of caramel, toffee, and oranges. Body on the thin side. Some alcohol in the finish.

Apr 25, 2007 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin ring of wispy, off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malts and a fresh, grapefruity hoppiness. Starts with good viscosity and sweet earthy caramel malt with some bittering grapefruity hops and good balance. An enjoyable American strong with a slightly warming finish.

Nov 24, 2005 12 oz bottle. Ruby brown beer, thin off-white heas. Sweet malty aroma, strong plummy fruit, dark cherry, and sweet toffeeish malts. Flavour is also quite sweet and malty up front, but is quickly drowned by a herbal, woodsy bitterness. Hop aroma and flavour are quite low considering the strong bitterness. A bit of lingering fruit on the finish, but doesn’t really come together.

May 22, 2007 According to my bottle’s label, this is 7.5% abv, but who’s quibbling? The body’s a deed reddish copper and it has a modest head that lasts throughout the drinking. The aroma’s a collision of scents, mainly hops, earthy, citric, and floral. Beneath it is a fruity malt along with some caramel. A tangy, citric hop bitterness takes control of the flavor, but it has a sturdy enough malt backbone to support it, actually achieving a precarious balance near the end. The hops win out in the finish, providing a prolonged bitterness that I enjoy. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Solutions, Portland, OR<font size=-1>
