12 oz. bottle - Pours a light brown / deep amber color with a one finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Has a candy sweet toasted malt and brown sugar aroma. Flavor is lightly sweeted malt with some light spice. Thin mouthfeel. Light to medium body. A good beer.

Pours dark mahogany brown with very minimal light brown head. Smells of dark, sweet malts, molasses, some raisins, brown sugar. Taste is a little smoky and bitter. Kind of belgian sweet, with a sharp bitter aftertaste. Some hickory smoke, cinnamon, molasses, and figs in the taste. Fairly smooth finish for 9%. Pretty nice.

Bottle sampled. Pours deep bronze with a decent size light tan head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, and hops. The flavor is bitter hoppy, caramel, and sweet

12 oz. bottle in trade from WeeHeavySD. Deep amhogany purthat develops a medium light tan head settling to a fine bubbly layer in a few minutes and leaving some respectable lace. Caramel and toffee are noticed first, followed by some understated soft pine and citrus. Rich, creamy mouthfeel with very soft carbonation and a pleasingly full body. As with the aroma, a malty sweetness comes on at the front, but is quickly followed by a peppery bitterness that lingers on the palate. Although 9% ABV, the alcohol is never really noticeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to have this again.

bottle. Pours brown with a reddish copper tint and a small tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and wheat with a touch of citris. Taste is malt to start, then it hits you up side the head with syrupy candi sugar and finishes you off with some bitterness. A bit cloying but nice stuff.

On Tap at the Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. Mahogany pour with reddish hues, small tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel and earthy hops. Flavor was rich with malts up front, doughy bread, earthy hops and a bitter finish. Full flavored, medium bodied beer. Very enjoyable, another good effort from Lagunitas.

Short 12oz bottle. Reddish brown color, tan head. Aroma of a BarleyWine. Malty and high gravity. Very niice. Flavor is rich and high in malt character with a pleasant tangy hop bitterness to it . Long finish of bitterness lasts on the palate. I would like to taste this same batch after a few years are on it...

Bottle. Reddish-brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma of light doughy malt and some earthy hops. The flavor also seemed to brinbg through doughy pale malt and some bitter earthy hops and a bit of booze. Light body, pretty crisp with a bitter clean finish.
