Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, cherry, some berry, grapefruit, light alcohol. Smooth full body. Not sure how much I genuinely like it, but it is good, and quite unusual.

Sep 22, 2007 22oz bottle, courtesy of jasonp. Thanks, Jason! Pours a bright, medium orange color; white head with good retention and lacing. Chewy sugar and tea-like malts in the aroma. Rough, dusty and spicy mouthfeel: very rough, very earth, with a light vanilla character poking through and underwhelming hops; slightly toastiness. Medium, sugar and grainy finish. Messy and astringent.

Sep 21, 2007 Poured from a bomber. Transparent dirty blonde appearance. Aroma of green tea, full malts, some orange, and grapefruit. Predictably lovely. Strange arrangement of tastes. Chocolate grahams, cherry syrup, creamed corn, and almonds; sweet in an unexpected and vaguely salted way. Grass and steamed vegetal tones in a somewhat hot finish. Palate is smooth, and thoroughly bland. Not enough to chew on, and it doesn’t leave much of an impression. Thanks for sharing, Jason!

Sep 17, 2007 Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin fast disappearing tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with a sharp hoppy note - especially with notes of grapefruit, combined with a malty note of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel combined with a lighter note of hops - giving it notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry finish - somewhat like eating a grapefruit.

Sep 15, 2007 Bright orangey-red colour. Loose head. Gorgeous. Aroma is accented towards chocolate and wood. Big and full body, with a thick caramel overtone and pleasantly spicy hops. Very big, very red...I’ve had better examples over the concept but this is a nice brew.

Sep 7, 2007 Pours amber with a nice foamy tan head. Strong aroma of caramel and resiny/piny sweet hops, and a slight undertone of herbaceous hops. Flavor follows the aroma nicely with lots of roasted caramel malt and resiny hops, just a hint of brown sugar, and a slight note of alcohol that seems to hint at anise. Palate is medium/full, slightly spicy, with a bit of sweet caramel, an overtone of anise, and some warming alcohol. Not overly complex, but a damn fine balanced brew. Very enjoyable offering from ST.

Sep 7, 2007 initial burst of metallic was due to some serious carbon dioxide. That went away thankfully, and this developed into a nice little beer. Malty, boozy, with some nice hop flavor- spicy, with some earthy undertones. Would pick up again.
