Apr 3, 2008 Pours a brownish amber. Sweet nose. Wheaty. Fruity. In the taste you can tell that it has been aged in bourbon barrels. Mildly sweet with a bitter finish. Thanks Smuttynose!

Mar 26, 2008 Coppery amber in color with a small white head. Aromatic nose, heavy on floral hops and fruit with a touch of wheat. Flavor is wheaty goodness with a big alcohol presence. Interesting and good.

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Enjoyed this one quite a bit while doing my taxes. Sweet hoppy aroma with a touch of wheat (less than the name would imply). Beautiful dark golden amber pour with a thin creamy head. Very sweat taste with plenty of hops and fruit noticeable.

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Mar 24, 2008Bottle. Pours nice reddish color with nice white 1 finger head that left decent lacing as I drank it. Smell is fruit, raspberry,caramel and light wheat. Light citrus taste and decent malt with a light tangy after taste. Little bit of a earthy spice in there also. Did not detect the hops anywhere or the alcohol. Very well hidden on this one. Light carbonation and dry finish. Liked this one a lot and glad to have one to sit on. For being 11% this one is easy to drink.

Mar 23, 2008 Opaque grapefruit pour with two finger beige head. Nose of barnyard, and fruit funk. At first sip, I was hit with an alcoholic tinge, followed by sweet fruit, strawberry and raspberry, and a nice malty backbone. Warming mouthfeel, sticky on the roof of the mouth, with dry finish. Alcohol is not nearly well enough disguised, and could have better balance.

Mar 15, 2008 22 oz bottle served in my Smuttynose snifter. Poured a pretty dark plum color with some haze to it. Small off white head and no lace to speak of. Aroma is dark fruits & old wood. Heavy, sticky, oily palatte. Flavor was a complex mix of dark fruits, malts, barley & brown sugar. Behind it all a strong alcohol burn. This is one of Smutty’s "Big Beers" & I would say it is.
