i don’t even need to let my biased love of hunter effect this score. The brew is awsome!

Aug 6, 2008 Pours murky orange with a yeast sediment and a white head. Dry woody and dense caramel malty with a solid citric to orange note. Smooth and yet fruity hops into a slight dry finish.

Sep 11, 2007 Thanks to hopdog for opening up this retired bottle...
Appears a semi transparent amber with an off white head that fades into a mild film and collar. Streaky lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of caramel, raisins, vanilla, toffee, cookie dough, and oatmeal.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with caramel and plums breaking through as the highlights.
Mouthfeel is slightly bitter with notes of flowers, cherries, and cocoa.
