Apr 5, 2009 Interesting beer. A delicious-looking amber red beer with a small tan head. Aroma is a fairly underwhelming watery maltiness with some roasty notes. The flavor is quite intriguing, starting off with sweet caramel malt and then developing into a more roasted flavor and ending with a bitter almost burnt taste. Amazingly thick mouthfeel.

Apr 4, 2009 Poured from a 12 oz bottle a nice amber color with a slight head. Not my favorite from Lagunitas but not disappointing.

Apr 4, 2009 4/4/09 from the bottle. Aroma is all malt with lots of molasses and some alcoholic fruit. Appearance is hazy brown with a low cream colored head. Flavor is very rich with lots of roast, great caramel and clean finish. Mouthfeel is a little syrupy, medium full bodied, with a low carb texture. Overall, big and complex, a very cool brew for malt lovers.

Malty aroma with sweet fruits.
Very malty flavour; raisins and prunes.
Spicy and bock-like.

Apr 4, 2009 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright ruby-garnet color with a huge brown head. The aroma was marvelously strong sweet ripe fruits and chocolate. The flavor was strong, hoppy and full of ripe fruits - cherry, raspberry & pear - with notes of brown sugar, cocoa powder and caramel. The mouthfeel was fairly thick. Marvelous.

Apr 1, 2009 Bottle. Sweet toasty malt aroma with a great hop smell too. Dark amber with a small tan creamy head. Mostly sweet caramel flavor with bitter hop notes and finishes with a slightly sour twang. The beer is medium bodied, very creamy thick mouth feel with a nice long finish. This is an interesting beer, can’t say I’ve had anything quite like it. The mouth feel is great and it has a great balance of sweet bitter and sour.

Mar 31, 2009 March 31, 2009; 12 oz. bottle. Dark fruit, raisins, heavy malt, alcohol. Sweet & somewhat syrupy. Bitter finish. A bit barleywine-ish. I prefer Lagunitas’ superb "Lucky 13" ASA to this.

Mar 31, 2009 Might be their worst offering. Some caramel and hop balance but mostly booze. Little bit fruit in the finish. One and done.
