Oct 7, 2008 12oz bottle. Thanks to MaltOMeal for including this as an extra. Pours a very pretty burnt orange/red color with low carbonation. Some traces of a head start but quickly recede to just a thin layer of bubbles surrounding the glass. The aroma shows candied fruits, traces of hoppiness still linger (or are those just spices?). A lot of fruitiness with some pineapple and other tropical fruit. Smells remarkably similar to a Barley Wine though a little more tame perhaps. Taste is pretty thin and watery. Some traces of maltiness and caramel are present but it tastes like a normal BW watered down. Very quick finish. Interesting but not entirely successful.

Sep 25, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Slightly hazy amber golden with tiny impurities and an off-white head. Sweetish fruity aroma. Medium body with sweet and a little overripe fruit and spices. Almost no bitterness. 220808

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle, shared by papsoe. A clear, orange-golden pour leaves almost no head at all. Some beige bubbles. Sugary and malty nose with some hoppy fruityness. The flavor is quite sugary and malty too, with a pleasant bitterness and a touch of pinecones. Full-bodied, with a caramel-sweet finish. A nice beer, without being outstanding. (080822)

does not count  Aug 24, 2008 Highly recommended by Grapevine Market in Austin, TX. Color of a 2000 penny with an off white medium lasting head. A light creamy texture with just a slight aroma of a caramel covered toast. A brown sugar taste with an average finish. With a Saint Nicholas like guy on the bottle, I’m sure to buy during Christmas with the in-laws.
