May 29, 2009 Updated: Jun 9, 2009From bottle, blind #22. Pours cloudy dark orange with a slowly diminishing off-white head. Dense hoppy and light fruity aroma. Dense wooden and citrusy fruity flavoured. Distinct sweet caramel malt flavoured base. Lasting wooden and fruity flavoured into the finish.

May 25, 2009 Hazy amber-red. Some tangerine/apricot hop aroma with chewy crystal malts and maybe a hint of chocolate. Kind of fizzy, though that helps with the body, which would otherwise be kind of sticky. Some fruitiness in the finish. It’s ok, but it certainly doesn’t distinguish itself in any way.

May 25, 2009 Hazy brown-red, thick fizzy tan head. Chewy aroma, earthy hops, minerals, soil, some cherry, dried fruit. Thick palate. Tastes as chewy if not more than it smells. Palate is coated with tannic, earthy hops and the heat of alcohol. It’s actually a nice hop profile, with mostly the rich soil-like flavors and textures but redeemed by the drying finish. The high alcohol really works to elevate what could be an awfully heavy beer. Pretty solid.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. Aromas of cherries, other ripe fruits and malt. Hazed orange in color with a beige creamy head. Fruity and caramel malty flavors that finish with a decent grassy bitterness. Nice balance of malts, fruit, and hops.

Apr 26, 2009 Thanks to LUM for this awesome Extra!
I am still looking for some more of this if anyone is wanting to do a trade!
This pours a deep brownish red color. The nose is great on this as well. The mouth I got was toffee, caramel, hoppiness.
The nose was hop and spices that blended well.
I will be searching this one out again.
