mkobes (2045), paramus, New Jersey, USA Oct 8, 2003 Updated: Dec 20, 2003Got this bottle of beer as a gift from Tom Baker. It was so good. Very fresh. Very complex in flavor. Deep amber colored and very flavorful. Beige head. Its Malty and hoppy. Peppery notes. Bottle conditioned. Enniskillen (1626), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Dec 9, 2006 Thanks to Santa for this one. Body is a amber brown with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity, with cherries, apricots, almost a candy like aroma, also a bit of peanut brittle and toffee show up. Taste is very sweet with caramel, toffee, and alcohol showing up intitally followed by cherries, and a light toffee background. Wonderful beer. freekyp (827), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA Nov 2, 2002 Sweet and fruity, yet has a lingering spice character. Tangy beginning, peppery finish. This is a must try. roder60 (885), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 8, 2005 Updated: Dec 9, 2005So ive been waiting to try this beer for months and it has been resting in my fridge the entire time. Finally, I take it out, pop off the cap, and im immediately soaked in foam which pours out like a gyser and covers my entire desk making everything ridiculously sticky. Needless to say, not the way i wanted to start trying this bottle.
Beer poured a hazy dark orange color with a huge amount of white head and tons of carbonation. Aroma is a mix of caramel malts and citrus, especially grapefruit and banana. Flavor is an interesting mix of sweet and tart. Starts very caramely then becomes a vanilla banana flavor then finishes a tart grapefruit. Overall, an exceptional beer that i wish i could have gotten back the spillage from. santoslhalper (252), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 7, 2008 4 year old keg at the Earth opening. Thanks Tom! Clear copper with no head. Apple, pear, orange, and citric aroma with some berries, slight dark fruits, acidity, and ginger spiciness. The taste is crazy fruity and funky, with apples, coriander, cloves, spice, acidity, and a pleasant sour finish. Slightly flat, but aside from that, freaking delicious!!
