Apr 10, 2009 [1909-20081219] 22floz bottle. Ginger spice aroma has a weird floral thing going on and a minty background. Dark dark red brown body with a big long-lasting creamy off-white head. Burnt malt and weird top yeasty bitterness notes that finishes boozily. Medium-full body. Good.

Apr 6, 2009 Nice dark strong ale. Pours dark brown almost black. Nice cascading tan head that fades. Nice sweet smell, hints of citrus and fruit. Creamy mouthfeel. This brew dances on the tounge but lingers on the tip. Smooth sweet and tastey. My bottle says 11.5% ABV but nothing about cask aged. This brew hides it’s alcohol content.

Apr 5, 2009 Warm brown color, well-carbonated, and topped with a brown head that evanescences before the first sip. Rich aroma of dark fruit, deep malt ball, and chocolate plum pudding on the tail end. Wonderful malt ball and chocolate marsala flavors with a wooded sherry finish. Reminds me of a less roasty, complex baltic porter with its wondrous panoply of flavors. This one is a keeper.

Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Gorgeous, lasting, creamy head atop a deep mahogany body. Aroma of candi sugar, bubblegum, toffee, chocolate, earthy hops, cranberry, papaya, marshmallow, smoke, all so seamless and subtle. Flavor has a mild roasted character with just the right amount of candi sugar to compliment but not overwhelm the pastry and bread malt, a sparkling of those earthy hops, great smoky, semi-sweet chocolate, especially at the finish. The palate was the weakest aspect of the beer as it was just an ever-so-slight touch soda-like, but I only complain because the rest of it was so good so I wanted it to approach perfection. Excellent either way.
