Pretty nice ASA. Pours a nice rich mahogany color with a greenish tinted off white head. Nose is hoppy and dark fruits with some caramel and alcohol. Taste is Acidic and highly carbonated syrup like mouthfeel and a spicy hoppy bite. Nice beer and it shares some of the malt chars of gnarly wine.

Bottle. Pours dark reddish brown with a medium head. In nose burned caramel and dark fruits. Flavour is raisins, prune, caramel, hazelnut and alcohol. Decent brew.

Bottled. Hazy amber coloured with a medium sized head. Quite malty with notes of pines, raisins, citrus, alcohol and hops.

From a 12-oz. bottle, this pours a clear, deep ruby-brown with a khaki head. Nice lacing. Sweet aroma with hints of ripe fruit and caramel corn. Tofee-like malt predominates in the taste with relatively mild hopping in the followup; kind of like a mellowed version of Bigfoot. Very smooth and almost creamy. Very good.

Pours a dark reddish brown with lots of carbonation, but a very thin, quickly dissipating head. A moderate toasted malt aroma with some light hints of coffee. Flavor is of coffee malt, with just a bit of sweetness and acidity. A little too fizzy for my taste. Nothing special.

Ruby brown with a thin off-white head. Caramel malt aroma. Sweet and potent malt flavor with a big alcohol presence. earthy and rich with a decent hop presence. Nice.

Bottle, thanks grove. Lots of malt, raisins both in aroma and taste. Eiswein, sherry. There is a dryness underneath that plays along. Lovely.
