3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Half Time. Pours hazy dark ruddy copper with a slight beige head. Aroma is lightly fruit - almost light cola. Full bodied. Flavor is very malt, not very hop. It is fresh. It’s fruity bubble gum. Not in a bad way. Bears a slight resemblance to cola. Finishes dusty, fruity bubble gum and fairly towards dry. Surprising for all the malt. This is a pretty good sipping beer. Hop is hard to differentiate, but I think that’s what separates this from barley wine. Damn tasty beer.

Aromas of caramel, toffee, some toasted nuttiness, roast, chocolate, and oranges. Tastes of caramel, toasted nuts, citrus (again mainly oranges), and toffee. Light to medium alcohol in the finish.

A hazy golden orange ale with a thin off white head. A catnip hops aroma with light fruity notes. In mouth, sweet candy sugar, hops and oranges. Nice and warming. On tap at Vermont Brewers Fest 2008, July 19, 2008.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Deep amber beer with a thin amber head. Aroma is quite spicy and malty. A fairly prominent caramel and toasted grain aroma. Flavour is quite rich and sweet but there is a pretty significant amount of noble hops. Fairly fruity with a nice earthy/dried fruit component. Warming alcohol but it wasn’t as hot or boozy. It’s quite different from its two little brothers... sort of like a hoppy doppel alt... if such a thing existed.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours ruby red with a thin pinkish head. Smells of sweet malt, some rosey hints. Tastes very malt forward with a lot of sweetness (in a good way). Basically an amped up version of the double bag.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Capone’s. Pours deep coppery, approximating the color of amber glassware. Nose is caramel malt, hops, spirity cognac, citrus. Tastes caramel malty, with hops, citrus, figgy fruit, and mild nuttiness. As it warms, it gets somewhat hot, but the flavors sort of approximate a low-end cognac somewhat, so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Draft at ginger man. Pours an amber body with a light off white head. Sweet with roasted caramel, actually just load of malt, a bit grainy, with some light hop bitterness to finish. Weird i thought this was going to be a trippel.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear strawberry red color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, bananas and a faint bit of granola. Fairly weak aroma overall. The taste is caramel, berries, toffee, booze, apple and banana. Medium bodied. Fairly smooth, but the alcohol is a bit harsh.
