mgermani (932) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 23, 2009
Pours a headless amber with an odd sweet tomato aroma. More tomato in the flavour, sweet and light and vegetal. Thin body with low carbonation. Odd. Very odd.

tiggmtl (4467) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 26, 2008
Marzipan, sherry and plenty of alcohol in the nose. No head atop the clear, deep amber-copper coloured body. Alcohol is very apparent in the sweet, sweet flavour but other than that there isn’t much to this one. Sherry like flavours linger in the aftertaste. Medium body with fairly low carbonation. Estimated at about two years old, this one was definitely showing its age. Sampled at Oakes’ cellar raid 2007.

Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 23, 2007
Dull, flat brown...looks terrible. Smells like demerera. Very sweet flavour - mainly brown sugar - and quite alcoholic. Fairly simple, though...there’s just these two things and they don’t come together much.

4.3
   AROMA 8/10   APPEARANCE 5/5   TASTE 8/10   PALATE 4/5   OVERALL 18/20
jhole9 (2) - Poulsbo, Washington, USA - DEC 9, 2005 does not count
Best of Show 2005 Washington Cask Beer Festival. Great carmel and fruit notes a huge body and amazing finish. Described by Northwest Brewing News as an incredible beer.
