Aug 10, 2009 Bottle at the legend of chriso’s pre GBBF09 tasting. Alround rating: Massively sweet, loads of caramel off the caramalt, brown ale malts coming through too, grassy bitternes but toffee dominates. Im guessing this was fairly old.

Aug 7, 2009 On tap at the San Marcos brewery 07-10-09. Pours a nice amber, cream head. Amazing hop aroma almost stings the nostrils. Going back in, you can pick up subtle molasses and brown sugar. Fortunately, the balance is incredible as you move it to your mouth. Awesome sweetness up front with a very dry bitter hops finish. Good mouthfeel and it seems very drinkable. Amazing brew.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours a deep hazy copper with thick tan head, plenty of cake residue. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, resiny pine hops, some citrus and fruit. Similar taste, great balance of the hops/malt/fruit. Excellent strong ale. Cheers!

Aug 2, 2009 Dark hazy brown/red with a frothy tan head that leaves lace. Aroma is a combination of pine, alcohol, honey, cherry, excellent. Taste is very rich with pine, molasses, plum and roast. Very well balanced with sweet and heavy hops. Finishes with a dry bitter crisp. Perfectly balanced.

Aug 2, 2009 At Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09. Hazy brown. Piney hop aroma. After that there was an overpowering mixture of sweetness and bitterness. Not so much like being attacked by a shark as having a bar of soap thrust down your throat.
