3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JAN 6, 2006 Yes, I understand I probably had that beer on its best day the first time around. Sampled on what was obviously a more ordinary day, it’s a slightly coppery amber colour. The aroma is malty, somewhat brassy with a hint of earthiness. Flavour has a lot of bitterness - woody - and dashes of caramel and breadcrusty malts. The flavours are definitely not as bright as previous and the beer simply feels less alive as a consequence. Alcohol hits late, as does a little brown sugar sweetness. Not a bad beer, certainly respectable amongst the overall alt/amber field, but not a worldbeater either. That was pretty much expected, though, as that first experience was so sublime. Ar 6 Ap 3 F 7 P 3 O 14 = 3.3 Rating shown is aggregate of the two.
Deep amber; rich aroma with loads of malt, almonds, cashews, and hints of maple & bourbon; Huge malt palate - but with pleasing bitterness underneath flavours of plum, pear, rich caramel/toffee and earthy, toasted malts, mesquite smoke, more bourbon. Finishes both sweet and earthy. Very complex. The best alt since Im Fuchschen. Ar 9 Ap 4 Fl 10 P 4 O 18 = 4.5

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light copper body with minimal head. Aroma is sweet and malty, largely caramel. As it warms, hops and alcohol also show up. Flavorwise, it’s fairly rich, sweet and strong malty. Hoppy on the back half, and there are definitely some barleywine qualities. The alcohol is blatant in its presence. It’s a good beer, but no great shakes.
