Bottle 2007 vintage shared by Eric, thanks. An odd brew. Pours a totally murky brown/red color with no head. The aroma is sweet intense berries and sugary malt, cocoa as well. The flavor is a odd mix; very sugary and fruity almost like a berry fruity beer with a heavy alcohol presence, warm, herbal, toffee, interesting. I liked it.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tasted on 2/16/11 from a 22oz bomber bottle from the Twisted Spoke. Pours clear but very dark amber with an average off-white head that settles into thin, even lace with a decent collar. The nose is very malty with a good amount of sweet vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar, and some light herbal notes. The flavor is sweet with caramel and brown sugar malt up front, with a bit of herbal and spice flavor rounding everything out. The body is full with average carbonation and a long malty and sweet finish. This is the perfect example of a beer that is delicious despite it’s lack of complexity.

Wow. Nose is toffee and brown sugar. Hazy amber pour. Slightly spicy on the finish. Wondeful. Burnt caramel, toffee, cocoa, great complexity and balance on the tongue. Sweet with a nice slight bittering. This stuff should be an annual.
From sample pour at local December 2010 tasting.

Bottle shared by Brian, thanks! Poured a cloudy brown with a yellow brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of spice with sweet grains a bit of alcohol and some dark fruit. Flavor was quite sweet from the grain with some balancing spice and a decent amount of alcohol.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by Ogglethorp. Thanks! Pours dark brown with off white head. Aroma is a mixed bag. Pretty interesting. It had spices, caramel, belgian yeast maybe, and had some oxidation notes that had set in. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is all over the place, too. Flavors are bitter, spicy, and just all over. Interesting brew.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to JohnGalt1 Pours out red/amber topped with a small sand head. Aroma of pit fruit, vanilla, spice, and sweet malts. Taste is much sweeter than the aroma with tons of brown sugar and caramel finishes off with a nice spice.
