Jul 20, 2009 Bottle via a trade with hellbilly, shared at the Stone Sourfest. Pours with a hazy auburn maple body. aroma of smoke, scotch, leather and raisin. Taste is raisin, scotch, leather, maple, oak and rye. Very syrupy mouthfeel.
Love the tequila bottle shape, fooled Greg Koch at Stone into thinking it was liquor, before he realized that it was beer.

Jul 19, 2009 Bottle shared by Bman111vr at sour fest today. This is a very strange big old brew. Poured reddish with no head. Nose was sweet and very boozy. Taste is sweet sharp and wow a big kick with some interestingness here and there, not amazing but steps above utopias.

May 19, 2009 Bottle of sort pours out brown with no head. Aroma of maple syrup, vanilla, and that 19.5%. Tast was cardboard, vanilla, and sweetness. I will say I am glad I got to try it. Thanks Toby

May 10, 2009 Bottle of unknown orgin - Thanks Toby -
Pours a flat copper with no head...aroma is chemically dominated, vanilla extract, slight maple and some roast...flavour is similarly odd, thin with no carbonation, boozy roast, vanilla, liquid smoke...consistency of 20%ABV water...only redeamable quality is the sweet bottle...

Apr 24, 2009 Needed help. Love this bottle. Poured brown with no head. As it looked in the bottle. Aroma of maple syrup, meat, and booze. Sweet maple flavor upfront with some smoke. Finished with this crazy alcohol burn. Yikes. Wild.

Apr 17, 2009 [1968-20090124] 390mL bottle. Smoked ham/bacon and campfire and Christmas Eve dinner aroma. Murky, dark brown amber body with no head. Sweet honeyed ham booze flavour has campfire throughout. Full thick body. Good.
Overheard: "It’s a little pork product." "It was made in Hamel."

Mar 11, 2009 390 ml corked bottle, just like the pic. Thanks to gputty for sharing.Murky brown and flat as a board, as one would expect. Big sweet nose, malty and woody, brown sugar and light maple. Thinner body, near watery. Sweet and boozy - lots of malt and brown sugar, molasses, a bit of honey. This was disappointing - like they crossed up a SATB and Utopias, but something bad happened. It’s not a complete waste, but I find it amazing that this is as highly rated as it is, while people crap all over SATB. Whatever.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle at ’Cole’s Rare Beer Fest’, Buffalo, NY. Pours and oily dark orange with no head. Nice aroma of sticky toffee, honey, alcohol and hops. Flavour’s a bit disappointing after that aroma, there’s something odd about it, along with the stuff named in the aroma I also get some smoky maple bacon. Average to medium bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Pretty good overall.
