Feb 22, 2009 Dull flat amber. Malty-caramelly nose with light fruit accent. Sweet and candyish, with some phenols. Another poor offering.

Feb 20, 2009 At brewpub. Deep amber with little head and no lacing. Aroma is spicy-sweet with gingerbread, raisins, cinnamon sugar. Body is low carbonation and smooth and juicy. Very sweet ale with a nice punch in the finish. If it weren’t so candi sugar-sweet I’d like it more. Has a nice fruity (pear, sugar plum) and spicy quality but the high sugar and alcohol content ends up lending a phenolic element to it.

Dec 26, 2003 Draft at Sarasota Brewing Co. in Sarasota, FL. This beer had a large sized tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was softly carbonated and transparent with a reddish-brown hue. The nose was malty and some chocolate notes. This beer had a caramel, hops and chocolate flavor. This beer had very sparse lacing.

Dec 20, 2003 TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 117. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Sarasota Florida. This brew described by the brewer as an experimental style ale poured a large head of finely sized mostly diminishing light brown colored bubles that left behind a transparent very sofly carbonated body. The aroma was mellow tih mild brown malts and the mouthfeel was tingly with a mild brown malt bite. The flavor was all brown malts.
