Sep 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours copper. Tiny white head. Aroma of tea, some delicious fruit that I can’t ID. Flavor is floral, beautiful hops. Minimal spice on the finish. Great autumn beer. Didn’t even realize this beer was 8% until I logged on here... Yum!

Sep 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to Crizay I believe, from a trade a while back. Pours a clear crimson hued brown with a diminishing medium sized beige head. Aroma is soft old malt heavy with plum and caramel. Spicy with some oxidization and a bit of malt. Finishes up dry and with some big bitterness.

Sep 17, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co. Poured to a Czech-pils glass, a deep, brownish red with a creamy, tan head and good, clingy ribbons of lacing. The nose started with a fleeting wisp of orange rind, grain as rolled oats, some earthy yeast, maybe even a little wood, and a touch of alcohol showing through the interesting array of notes. The flavor added to the presentation, a rounded, tongue coating, hop bitterness that grew more intense as the beer warmed, along with a nice, balancing malt presense. The alcohol then exposed itself with some warmth midway through which became an enjoyable, Strong Ale experience.

Sep 10, 2009 Pours amber with a big cream colored head. Aroma is fruity, citrusy, slightly earthy and spicy hops. Flavor is a great blend of caramel, with big citrusy hop that has a big amount of earthiness and a little spice. Very good.

Aug 23, 2009 ooks and smells like a spiked Iced tea. The smell is fairly weak.
Taste actually has some of that tea characteristic but first hits you with a blast of hops that is well balanced and doesn’t leave you too bitter. Rather enjoyable and masks it’s alcohol content well. Medium body and low carbonation.

Aug 11, 2009 Hoppy and malty at the same time. Great balance and a beautiful color. Hides its alcohol very well. Perfect for Halloween. Thicker palate than most Great Lakes brews that aren’t Porter/Stout. A well thought out beer.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle shared at DDG release party. Copper orange/red pour. Great color. Big nose. Sweet, caramel, hoppy and malty. Taste is the same. Had a flat bounce in the mouth.

Jul 27, 2009 Bottle poured into a snifter produced a finger worth of white head that settled to a lace. The body color of the brew was a wonderful burgandy red.
The aroma reminded me of a barleywine in a lot of ways. There is a great sweetness followed by some light hops. The flavor is more of the same but I no alcohol showing up considering it an 8%brew. I got some nice sweet caramel with a light citrus bite. The feel in my mouth was great nice and smooth with a light carbonation
A good brew nothing over the top about it but worth the drink. I easily finished this bottle as was wanting for more
