Angeloregon (1694), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 6, 2008 Bottle pour--Dark deep brown-black pour with a minimal whitish head. Caramel, sticky nose. Sweet, toffee, caramel, not well managed. Hot booziness. Eh. gunhaver (603), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a candy caramel apple brown, with reddish golden highlights and little lacing. Aromas of sweet caramel, pear, some toffee, chocolate, and a nice alcoholic touch. Caramel flavors are front and center, with toasted malts, chocolate, waves of nougat, and rounding out with a nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied, sticky mouthfeel, bitter end balances it out well. fishingnet (774), Brandon, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a hazy amber with a small light tan head. Aroma is loaded with alcohol and sweet caramel. Taste is alcohol, sweet malt, and caramel. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness and hot alcohol. Decent.

Acquired via trade with after4ever. Pours dark brown to copper with a bit of haze and tan head. The aroma is malty sticky sweetness and some medium colored fruity esters. A good dose of alcohol too if the draw goes too long. The taste is sticky malt sweetness blending into fruity esters. Smooth and slick and turning into sugar coated pears along with nice lip smacking residual sweetness. Never gets too warming or hot. Nice stuff. sebletitje (187), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 17, 2008 Updated: Jul 22, 2008Bottle courtesy of ibrew2or3.
Pours amber/brownish. Aroma is of barley and caramel malt. A decent barley beer. Would try it again to give it a better review.
