Sep 16, 2007 Amber colour. Very hazy. Nutty, figgy aroma with deep caramel. Big body. Chewy, with heavy caramel notes and accents of nuts, apple skins. Robust earthy bitterness carries this beer.

Sep 9, 2007 (22oz bottle, vintage 2007) Lovely medium beige head that leaves nice lacing, atop light hazed copper body with yeast flecks at the glass bottom. Aroma is moderately sweet, toffee/caramel, some wood, sherry, light cherry. Taste is moderately sweet, toffee/caramel, some cognac, wood, bittersweet chocolate, earthy/grapefruit. Soft and very smooth medium-full body. Excellent sipping beer.

Apr 15, 2007 Bottle... Lightly hazed blend of hues... mahogany, pink, rust, red and orange... with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Great retention. Beautiful beer, really. The aroma is a toffee, white chocolate and mandarin orange blend. Solid, sweet, roasted malt flavor with heavy, grapefruit bitterness to match. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Lengthy, toasted, bone-dry finish. Thanks to boboski for splitting the bottle with me!

Apr 18, 2007 Transparent bright copper bronze with a pretty-nicely lacing light tan head. Aroma of slightly earthy caramel malty sweet with a touch of tartness and grain. Body starts fairly full and earthy with nice bittersweet malty and slightly citrusy hoppy balance. A decently authentic and drinkable brew.
