Mar 22, 2008 Bottle thanks to timmcdPours a transparent dark copper mahogany amber with a stringy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly earthy dark caramel malts and a hint of raisins. Body starts lightly sweet and earthy lightly fruity with a touch of drier, toasty dark caramel malts. Finishes drier and bittersweet with a touch of thinner mildly caramely sweetness and light tartness. A decent English strong ale.

Jul 5, 2008 Deep orange-brown beer, herbal sweet aroma. Some light orange peel over an earthy sticky sweetness. Light brown sugar. Biscuity, cookie dough sort of sweetness with a fairly sweet and chewy body. The sweetness gets pretty cloying and I’m glad I don’t have to drink much more of it.

May 2, 2008 Poured a lightly hazy, chestnut color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, light all spice, floral hops, a bit of citrus fruits, and fruitcake. Taste of more caramel malts, some nuts, earthy hops, toast, a bit of noble hop spiciness, and light alcohol in the finish.
