(750ml, # 1033, bottled 4-14-09) Pours a hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of wood, apricot, citrus, vanilla, chardonnay grapes, and nuts. Flavor of citrus, toffee, caramel, toasted coconut, and vanilla.

RBSG Tasting. Cigary barley wine. Some parsley. Quite a bit of caramelly sweetness.

Bottle # 1090, bottled 4-19-09 Rich golden color and hazy, very heavy with a nice head. Taste is very sweet, honey, fruity and sugary. Good though perhaps a tad sweet

Bottle. Pours burnt orange rust with a small head; hazy. Aroma is quite sweet and perfumey with vanilla, pudding, orange, marzipan, brown sugar, cinnemon, wood, and slight earth. Tastes sweet with brown sugar, vanilla, maple syrup, wood, bitter citrus and earth. Finishes initially sweet but dries out more than expected with flavors of wood, buttered toast, light amounts of bitter citrus. Thick, viscous and creamy mouthfeel, little in the way of alcohol heat. Great dessert beer without the "dark" qualities that usally accompany such sweet beers.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2012 Rerate: Sweet aroma of perfume and caramel. Flat Mouthfeel, sweet, caramel, toffee. Very perfumey. Color is slightly green, mostly copper, and cloudy. Aroma is sugar, and so is flavor. Just sugar and water. Palate is thick and sticky. Bottle from a tasting with illinismitty.

750ml bottle shared thanks to Ryan! Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of burnt vanilla, honey / honey combs, oak, and caramel. Tastes of honey, vanilla, caramel, some woodiness, and brown sugar.

Thanks to Degarth for bringing this one. Pours hazy orange with a soapy white head. Nose is overwhelmingly sweet at first, but it settles down as the beer warms to reveal the sheer complexity. Smells of yam, malt, maple, brown sugar, white sugar, oak, and vanilla. Flavor has the same problem that solves itself as the beer warms. This beer is very complex in the manner of sweetness, but without caressing it, the flavor simply comes off as cloying. Medium bodied and slightly sticky with vanilla, maple, and sugar staying around after the finish.

(750ml bottle #1033 botled 4-14-09 thanks to bu11zeye) copper color with whit bubbles and excellen lacing. Nose of vanilla, honey, toffee, raisin, rum, and wood shavings. Taste of cedar, vanilla, golden raisin, light alcohol, sake, honey, yeast, and candi sugar. Soft carbonation, tons of flavor and long duration. Excellent!
