Funknmilla (525), Absecon, New Jersey, USA May 8, 2008 Bottle from 2007.....Dark copper with a beige quite carbonated head with an appearance of soapy bubbles...Aromas of caramel and chocolate, along with the sweet malt smells...quite excited to taste this again and rate it...oh yeah! a smoky toffee flavor, leaves a sugar film on the teeth...sweet malts in the mouth and a baby bite of bitter in the finish...alcohol well disguised--wayyy too easy to drink for an 8.1% ...palate is light, yet full...this is a tasty creation
daniele (827), Italy Sep 29, 2008 ambrato carico schiuma non abbondante non molto persistente note maltate leggera sdpeziatura fruttato caramelo e luppolo in bocca malto dolciastra abbastanza fruttata piccoloe tostature caramello finale luppoloto che però non la rende molto amara explosivebeer (35), Washington, USA Sep 25, 2008 This has a beautiful deep red color with a thin residual head. The aroma is full of toffee, grains, and malt. The body is full and tastes of malty goodness, with only mild bitterness underneath. It finishes with a malty, grainy aftertaste. This graininess isn’t quite a barnyard wet blanket flavor, but a subtle form of that. The alcohol is slightly noticeable and contributes to the experience. Overall it’s a very tasty, interesting beer. Butters (421), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a hazy orange with small tan head. Pick up some sweetness and alcohol in the nose. Flavor is unusual. Cocoa, vegetal, malty, sweet, bitter. This was a pretty fresh bottle, so i’d be interested in trying some vintage stuff. beergod! (41), Houston, Texas, USA Sep 24, 2008 i’ve always been a fan of this brew.This is 04 Vintage! Pours a medium dark amber but still see thru! Small head and medium bodied. Smell is of brown roasted sugar and malt. Taste Has mellowed. I Think i’ve caught this one at it’s peek. Usually i think of this one as a great chocolate milk for adults.This beer is good,and all flavors have married. Cheers Conway!!!!! kappldav123 (1066), Markkleeberg, Germany Sep 19, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very complex aroma. Starts very strong and intense - like a barleywine. A bit roasty-smoky, becomes milder in the end. Very good beer!
