Jul 13, 2009 Bottle pours a slightly hazy deep caramel color witha short lived tan skin of a head.
Big sweet brown sugar aroma with a little furniture polish and tanned leather.
Flavor is more bitter, less sweet than many of the style. The bitterness is very powerful and overshadows the sweet malts that I expected. Strong alcohol component and rather fumey. Strong burn on re-entry.
I’d like to try another in case there was something wrong with this one.

Jul 9, 2009 Smells of alcohol, fruits and sugars with a deep red color in the glass. Malt at first taste with a strong hop backbone. Definitely a potent and tasty brew.

Jun 26, 2009 Pours a cloudy ruby with a wall of lace, as my friend CapnCascade puts it. Sweet fruity aroma - dates and toffee. Quite a strong malty taste - could have sat around for another year or two. Astringent strong malting with definite presence of alcohol and lingering hops with the alco-burn. Thin body with decent fine carbonation. Love the finish - nice dry hops and complex, yet not cloying sweet malting win the game, as it were.

Jun 22, 2009 Pours a nice dark gold with thick off-white head. Aroma strong of caramel malt, citrus hops, and a bit of spices. Flavor is dominated by the alcohol and sweetness. Not my cup of tea.

Jun 21, 2009 Shared at Kuhnhenn Summer Solstice. Poured into a snifter, brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is hot and boozy, with sweet malt, dark fruit, and very bitter grassy hops. Taste is caramel, hops, and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty good, but a bit too hot on the booze.

Jun 15, 2009 Alcoholic caramel toffee blast. Intense flavor. Pours caramel. If you don’t like caramel this won’t go down well. Tasty, but not very drinkable, one is enough for the night.

Jun 11, 2009 "Green Flash Second Anniversary" according to the bottle shared at PPSG09. Poured a cloudy brown with pretty much no head. Aroma is brown sugar oatmeal and caramel. Flavor is a little to sweet for me but it is still very good, candy apple coating heavy on the sugar.
