Jun 9, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is big on malt and a caramel scent as well. Nutty, some alcohol wafting up into my nose as well. Appearance is a clear brownish/ Amber with a thin soapy tan head. Taste has a really robust and nice malt texture to it, a bit of smokiness, caramel, tree nuts, and a slight bit of alcohol in the flavor as well. Palate is somewhat sticky, medium carbonation, with a mixture of alcohol and malt textures in the aftertaste. Overall, It’s pretty good stuff from Samuel Adams. If it was a little cheaper I would get this often. Cheers!

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle... Poured a deep reddish-ruby with a thin off-white head. Very sweet aroma of caramel and toasted, brown sugars with dark fruits. A little bit of malts that were very smokey with a smooth, sweet liquor quality. Dark prune or raisin flavors in the finish.

Jun 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle served in my dusty stein- poured dark brown with ruby and deep maroon tints when held to a light source, foamy off tan head formed but quickly bubbled away, lively medium carbonation. Aroma of burnt malt, dark caramel, and crude candi sugar. Hits the mouth with a wide medium body, malt tastes like it’s been burned, kind of a medicinial taste in the middle, finish has alcohol and cleans out your sinuses. Bit of a letdown- just tastes wrong to me.

Jun 6, 2009 Pours a clear copper with tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee dark fruit. Taste similar with nice maltiness to balance out the booze. Sticky mouthfeel, a bit sweet. Decent anyways.
