Ceramic Bottle 2006...piss poor!...bad bottle?...musty flavors like an old basement that has never been cleaned...has a mold problem, and is most likely infested with millipedes and spiders...as the insects join the drains, so does this beer...what a shame...the color was a dirty brown...the site wont allow all ones for this beer so 2’s it is...if and when I re-rate it I will change this score to the appropriate corresponding numbers

Dégusté avec french tickler le 5 juin 2007. <b>*Drank at le Mondial 07*</b> Murky brown poor with a thin brown head. Aromas of caramel, star anise, nicely spiced, blueberries and a sweet tartness to it. Very bitter ... reminds minds me of a good mix between an imperial IPA and barley wine. Flavors of alcohol, spices, caramel and hints of many different peppers... Preaty good!

The great burnt orange color of this beer was the same as the stunning red-head’s trusses across the bar from me. Both the beer and the girl were beautiful. The cream colored head (beer, not girl) was not dense, and settled to a thick lace. I know not if the girl was dense, but I’d love to see her lace. The first taste is a big fruity burst in the mouth. A flash of big sweetness. Orange and candied fruit. The sweetness lingers and then suddenly turns sharp and bitter. Probably with the red-head too. But ’twas a lovely brew, and a lovely view.

12oz Bottle. Brewed/Bottled in 2004. What a find! Pours a murky amber-brown with a thin off-white head that fades quickly leaving some milky swirls, and leaves a few sticky dots. Aroma is intense - caramel, toffee, dark fruits, some citrus hops, a hint of alcohol, and dried raisins. Taste is alcohol warmth and bitterness up front, followed by some dark fruits and then fades into a apricot/caramel/toffee explosion. Solid Barley Wine.
