Aroma: Malty aroma with maple syrup overtones.
Appearance: Poured a light copper color with a small head which dissipated quickly and left no lacing n the glass.
Flavor: Malty and sweet with a strong alcohol presence in the finish.
Palate: Lightly carbonated with a lingering alcohol burn.
Overall: This beer had a nice up front flavor, however it wasn’t carbonated enough for me and it had too much alcohol taste. I don’t think I would buy this beer again.

KSBF07 Poured a dark copper color with small head. Aroma was caramel brown sugar and wood. Flavor was much the same with some floral hops and some fruit in there. Little to sweet.

KSBF07. Deep amber to copper color, thin off-white head. Aroma was woodsy / outdoorsey, caramel, and brown sugar or molasses. The flavor was fruity woodsy-ish, caramel malts, molasses, and bittering/floral-like hops in the finish. The body was moderate for the style, a decent but not great beer. Re-rate, 12/07, bottle (Cease & Desist Label): Full malt body, woodsy-caramel most notable, alcohol not strong in the profile, but noticeable. An ok brew, original rating stands.

Thanks to Crizay for this trade! Dark copper color with no head. Slight strawberry aroma. Dry caramel and grain taste, like walking through a barley field in late September and munching on what you find. Simple, but not bad.

Bottle shared by Badgerben, pours a clear reddish amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and ring. Aroma of caramel malt, a touch of molasses and flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some molasses and a metalic alcohol texture. Finish is heavy alcohol, semi sweet with some slight caramel malt and tart dewberry aftertaste.

Not a god beer at all. Very light malt aroma. Malt and alcohol flavor. No complexity or any qualities that hide the high alcohol content. The high abv ruins the palate on this beer.

Aroma: Candy sweet malt notes, some alcohol, light malt and fruity ester. Some caramel note. Appearance: Very clear, low head retention, reddish color beer Flavor: Definite balanced toward the sweet malt, with some alcohol notes in the finish. Palate: Kind of harsh/astringent and dry from alcohol. Medium bodied. Overall: Nice beer, palate is a little harsh from alcohol notes.
