Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - AUG 24, 2005
Pleasant rich sweet woody aroma, with touch of dried fruit sweetness added to it. Subtle quality in two words. This dark ale posses the right medium smooth body for its silky flavour. Light sweet malts, oak acidic woody character wrapped by warming well refined alcohol .medium bitter finish just adds the final matching puzzle .Brewmasters took its time brewing this ale. Very good.

BeerLimey (2112) - California, USA - MAR 17, 2005
Dense, dark brownish appearance, thick head formation. Sweet fruity plum and raisin nose with dryish woody, grain notes. Sweet fruity intro, plum again, turning to a lightly roasted cocoay finish. Slightly burnt bitterness in the aftertaste. Was expecting an onslaght of alcohol and a thick c hewy palate, but it’s much more subtle than that.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2003 You guys are all crazy. This was the most magnificent and unique stout that I have ever tried. Great cocoa and mocha flavors. Although, mine was very fresh which could definitely help.

Admiral (524) - Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 18, 2002
An outstanding, complex bottle-conditioned Imperial stout, from a country with the sort of climate that usually leads to bland lagers. Practically like a less hoppy Old Rasputin. Let it never be said that the British colonial legacy was all bad!
