decaturstevo (1278), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jun 22, 2008 An aroma of brown sugar and dried fruit. Lightly hazed orange brown pour. Large hoppy monster that hints of sweet on the front and dries out when it gets to the finsihing bitter. Nice solid palate and carbonation. Very good all round BW that I enjoyed.

Pours a nice cloudy rich orange caramel color with a light beige head. Looks nice in the snifter and smells good too. Rich caramel like malt and light hops on the nose. Taste is dry and hoppy and with warm caramel and light grassy hops that give it a nice brightness in the end. Very light alcohol. Very tasty, balanced, leaning towards hoppy and one of the better beers at the tasting, I thought. MakeItDrinkIt (66), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 11, 2008 Rich mahogany/light brown hue with a fluffy tan head. Aromas of caramel, a touch of vanilla and a bit of raisins. Flavor is lightly sweet at first, rich creamy honey and orange blossoms, then the hops come through and steal away your buds with a short tongue-lashing. At the finish, though, the hops mellow and you get some lingering resinous/honey/caramel flavors reappearing. Very nice now, should be brilliant soon! Chad Kennedy has kicked it with this one! Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 8, 2008 From a one liter bottle--Thick dark brown-chestnut body with a small off-white head. Fruity, sweet, and citrusy. Cloying, over malty, hot presence. Not so smooth. A bit boozy, yet somewhat complex. Ty5592 (1009), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 I was just telling my wife last night that I was gonna drink Olde English for my 1000 rating, Come to find out that this beer is #1000...Damn!! Maybe Olde English for #2000? Anyway, 1L red wax dipped 07 bottle. Pours a hazy deep amber/orange color with lacing type head. Aroma was malty and fruity with light citrus hops. The taste was the same with smooth medium sweetness. Nice balance between the sweet malt and the cirus hops. Rich and thick on the palate. Soild BW.
