ogglethorp (801), Ohio, USA Apr 16, 2008 Bottle shared by pudditane. Pours a dark ruby color with a very thin tan colored head. Aroma is oak, sweet malt, light floral hops. Flavor is super sweet malts, dark fruits, something metallic. Palate is full bodied, mild carbonation, finished sticky sweet. I found something to be terribly amiss with the flavor. Not very good.
General_Gao (2579), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican or iowaherkeye. Thanks to you both again. Poured a slightly hazy ruddy-orange color. The head was corn flake colored and consisted of large soap bubbles. Smelled of lemon and lime candy (ala Pez) and minimal oaky vinegar. Light to medium bodied with moderate bitterness. I tasted lemon, lime, oak, pastry, and nonspecific spices. Interesting stuff. Beer_Hawk (759), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Sep 29, 2008 Bottle shared by decaturstevo. Poured brown with a tan head that left light lace. Weird mix in the aroma of sweet tarts and musty cellar. The sweet tarts follow in to the flavor with slight malt background. Medium body, chalky, slightly metallic, tart. I also have ass written in my notes so see Ross’s rating. michael-pollack (1488), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 29, 2008 1 Liter Swing-Top Bottle: Faint aroma. Smells of alcohol, oak, caramel, and red wine. Poured very deep amber/brown in color with a medium-sized, dense, rocky, beige head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Full of tiny particles. Very good lacing. Flavor is Medium sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of alcohol, oak, coconut, chocolate, wood, caramel, resin, fig, and toffee. Medium body. Thin, watery texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, resinous finish. As Rastacouere says, "A very beefy beer on paper that resumes to little at all in mouth. " ross (1562), charlotte, North Carolina, USA Sep 21, 2008 this tastes like ass. (for you steve) illinismitty (1456), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 20, 2008 Updated: Sep 21, 2008Bottle from Decaturstevo. Pours a dark copper amber with a white head. Aroma is really odd, like old sweaty gym socks. Medium bodied with a slight syrupy texture. Flavor of caramel, smoke, and some weird off flavor, which is dusty, sour, and musty. On a positive note, alcohol well hidden.
