Feb 17, 2006 2004 edition, draught sample at EBF 2006. Hazy caramel with a bit of lasting head....cherry-medicinal nose, a bit of smoky peat helps but on the whole, not terribly pleasant, too sweet and burning....malty-sweet body, cherry-vanilla character along with lots of caramel, burnt wood, and a surprisingly strong alcoholic component for 8%....really has the character of diverse and interesting, but poorly mixed components....thin, rather stale finish. I’ve yet to be impressed by this brewery, though this sample is drinkable enough.

Jul 1, 2005 Couleur ambrée, apparence semi translucide, aucun dégagement gazeux. Arômes de cire à crayon, houblon vert et épices. En bouche, bois, chocolat et alcool cherchent à attirer notre attention. Belle signature apportée par les barils de Jack Daniels mais semblant sur-impregné par les caractéristiques de ces derniers. Corps semi mince semblant plutôt atténué. Longue finale juxtaposant alcool et notes de boisés. Échantillon en fût au American Beer Fest, Boston, 18 Juin 2005.
