May 2, 2004 Lightly hazed copper body topped by medium beige head. Aroma is anise, gingerbread, peat. Taste is plum, peat, finishing peat and light grapefruit. Medium, watery, sticky body. Very mellow beer -- it seems like it should jump out at you, but it never really wakes up.

Feb 22, 2003 Bottled. Clear dark amber, small lasting head. Aroma of caramel and burning wood, intense and lovely. Flavor profile reminiscent of old dusty boards, creme brulee and Scotch pine, intense, interesting but ultimately not all that drinkable. Very biter at the finish. I would like to try it again.....or would I?

Dec 11, 2003 Tipsy apricots trying to hold on to the nutmeg...Citrus fluidity and almond skin timidity...Brandy is scattered here and there, but never fully takes hold of the situation...
