Sam adams you’ve done it again. Another great beer. I had to rate this one on how good it was according tot he style and not whether or not I liked it. A dark dark red color. Pours a thick head from the bottle which is great, about an inch and a half high. Served at 50 degrees from my cellar. I tasted carmel and toffee, my wife thought molasses. Funny I used to like these but my taste has changed. I like stouts now and don’t like these at all, but like I said, I had to judge based on it’s style and did it do what the style was like and it sure did. If you like double bock’s this is a good one to try.

Oct 2, 2008 96 vintage. pour is rusty brown with no head. Aroma...sugary sweet with cherries, caramel and some leather/ earthy thing going on. Flavor is very sweet, but has a decent finish that saves it a little. Not bad.

Sep 28, 2008 Two year old bottle courtesy of BigErn. Pours a ruby brown in color with absolutely no head showing on the pour. Smell is highly malty and just a bit of boozey flavors. This is surprisingly good being well aged for a couple of years. This is surprisingly pretty good. Didn’t expect this. Thanks!

Sep 11, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet cream and toffee aroma. Hazy dark amber color, with a creamy off-white head. Flavor is very very sweet, much too sweet really, with predominant molasses and caramel. Sweet sticky finish.

Sep 6, 2008 Draft. Dark amber pour with off white head. Alcohol is easy to pick up on the nose. A nice beer to have if I’m in the mood for liquor.
