jaymobrown (1343), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 20, 2008 Poured a fairly bubbly light amber color. Not really much head came about. Smelled strong with a good bit of alcohol and some caramel and leather. Tasted much the same: strong caramel and alcohol flavors. Some other residual sweetness as well, like brown sugar or some type of hard candy. Overall, it was quite dry with no real hop presence. Gave off a sticky texture. Overall, quite good and fairly strong. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Jan 15, 2008 650 ml bottle from archer liquors. Brown amber with no head. Caramel and fruit aroma. Brown sugar, caramel, and mild citrus taste with an alcoholic finish. Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jan 14, 2008 Pours clear, red-brown, with a fine, light head. Aroma is caramel and toffee. Mouth feel is rather thick. Flavor is sweet with a caramel, toffee, hint of chocolate, and alcohol bend. MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Jan 14, 2008 Bottle, 10%. Good fruity aroma, dried fruit, apricot. Cloudy dark orange colour. Small, soft, creamy head. The flavour is nicely fruity, creamy, quite bitter and with some alcohol. The mouthfeel is almost slimy, but OK. weeare138 (933), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2008 This bottle is aged at least 2 years...
Appears an amber toned orange with a small, beige head that slowly fades into a mild cap. Spotty lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, roasted nuts, & mild spices.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with caramel, vanilla, and chewy malts digging in for some sugary flavors.
Mouthfeel is sugary, syrupy, with just a touch of the 10% coming through.
Seems to age well. lampeno420 (321), Zeeland, Michigan, USA Jan 6, 2008 This was a great treat, especially for the winter time. Strong caramel winey nose and flavor. A little detectable alcohol. Nice balanced palate. Strong all the way around. jeffwilliams11 (310), hooterville, Michigan, USA Jan 5, 2008 10 oz snifter from the brewpub. would definately keep you warm on a cold winter day. sweet, hoppy, and wheaty. yummy. egajdzis (3602), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 22, 2007 Poured a hazy golden amber color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, light clove, orange, caramel malts, toffee, and light spice. Taste of dark fruits, caramel malts, banana, some nut, and a bit of alcohol.
