Mar 12, 2008 Pours thick auburn color with white head. Lots of sweet dried cherries in the aroma comingling with notes of oak, malted wheat, and slight cocoa. Flavor maintains a good balance between strong hoppiness and strong wheat, cocoa, and caramel maltiness. Alcohol is definitely present in the finish. Fairly sticky palate. I’d like to age this and give it another go.

Mar 4, 2008 (on bottle, thanx to Yngwie and Gunnfryd) Rubyred, white head. Cansugarsweetness, upheld by tobacco and wood. Potent and fluid mouthfeel. Tatses mostly of altheabonbons and herbs.The alcohol becomes dominant and gets almost burning in the finish.

[thank you Yngwie/Gunnfryd]
Pours a great clear amber with a creamy soft white head. Good lacing.Fine oily mouthfeel. Aroma is soft, hoppy (grapefruit) and light caramel. Soft flavour as well, lots and lots of alcohol. Not as much creaminess and fullness as expected - where is the wheat?

Feb 19, 2008 Apr. 2007 - Beer pours caramel brown, one finger head and good lacing. Aroma was citrus and caramel. Flavor was sweet caramel malts, wheat, a touch of citrus and a sour finish. I didn’t think I’d like this this much. Very good!

Feb 14, 2008 Clear at first until the sediment on the bottom was disturbed. Deep amber appearance with a small, off white head and virtually no lacing. Multiple layers of fruit, both soft and citrus, in the aroma, with some herbal hops trailing behind. Malted wheat taste, moderately sweet, fruity; just a bit of spicyness in the aftertaste. Full bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. Long lingering finish with a noticable alc kick.

Feb 7, 2008 sampled at the San Diego Strong Ale Festival Nov 2008, an event shared with what seemed liked hundreds of ratebeerians and enjoyed mostly through a straw, since my face was a bloody mess of scabs and stitches. this came from the RB table full of bottles. 2007 22oz bottle. sweat fruity aroma. flavor was tangy with lots of pinaple and citrus. the alcohol is mild but present. a nice brew.
