Jan 17, 2005 Muddy brown color. Alcohol aroma kinda dominates. Malty sweet flavor initially. Alcohol appears and begins to dominate as it warms. A little too much alcohol flavor for a 6.2% brew. Seems a little wrong to me.

Jan 9, 2005 Cloudy brown with red edges and a thick off-white head which slowly dimishes. Aroma of caramel, floral hops and a hint of dust, yes dust. Pretty sweet. Taste has notes of caramel, brown sugar/molasses, peat/smoke, chocolate, some dark fruits and roasty malt. Aftertaste is slighty bitter and burnt. Mouthfeel is full and round but more on the medium side with lively carbonation. No lacing, decent head retention. Overall, pretty good.

Jan 3, 2005 Attractive, brilliant deep red. Sweet caramel aroma, touch of grain. Deep fluffy body, sweet, but too much so. Long malty aftertaste, with some complexity, touch of earthy hops. This beer feels great on the tongue, enough carbonation to prickle the tongue, but not enough to sting. This is fantastic. Thanks Dan!

Dec 20, 2004 12.20.04 bomber, #6 from the BIG BEER series. Hazy red beer with unever, though creamy, tan head. Strong alcohol nose and plenty of sweet earth and peat. Strawberry? Toasted marshmallow? Flavors in line with aroma -- reminds of a granola, wheat and corn flake, and dehydrated fruit breakfast cereal. Lots of earth, some wood; chocolate on back of palate. Good stuff, very boozy.

Dec 20, 2004 This beer rocks!...Crystal clear, copper ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Good retention. The nose is very malty with notes of toffee, caramel, bisquit, cola, light molasses and pear. Well-balanced flavor with light molasses, floral hops and a touch of salt. Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, astringent, dry finish. World class beer!

Dec 19, 2004 Very nice smoky aroma and taste. Mild overall taste, no real alcohol trace anywhere. Beautiful dark chocolate look with nice lacing for a bottle. Well done, if a bit "normal."
