4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
La intensidad de esta Old Ale es absolutamente increible. En nariz sorprende vainilla, caramelo de toffe y ligeros matices a madera. En boca es compleja y realmente densa dejando un final ligeramente láctico.
Sorprendente

Bottle at a tasting, thanks to Paul. Pours hazy, purple-brown with a medium, off-white head. Ripe fruits and heavy malts on the nose, some Annie’s mac n’ cheese. Extremely sweet, lots of baked beans (which I love!) And toffee, some ripe fruits, mild booze. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent warm finish, some more baked beans, toffee, brown sugar, some vanilla. Tons of sugar. Good stuff.

UPDATED: AUG 18, 2009 saved this beer for four months after purchase and broke it out for after dinner with some family members. Pours a rich burnt reddish brown with nearly no head but tight spirals of bubbles. smell was caramel and vanilla and old oak. The taste made me expect some alcohol bite due to so much whisky like flavors but the only finish was a slight bitterness. tasted like a nice moist piece of oak with some raisin or grappa notes as well. A fine ale to be savored in every velvety sip.

I LOVED this beer !! One of the best beers I’ve had in a while.I had it on draft and there was not much head when it came to the table but the color was beautiful. NIce solid brown with ruby shining through as well. The oak shines through in the flavor but not overly so. There are also notes of caramel and tobacco as others have said. The alcohol was present for sure but without any harsh bite or lingering effects. Very well done !!

Pours a very pretty ruby red with almost no head, tan lacing. Scent is sweet malts, vanilla and some oak with a hint of booze. Taste is malt some wood, bourbon like. Taste is smooth and balanced with the 11% well hidden. Good stuff.

Amber color, of a very dark shade; medium-sized compact head. It has a very nice aroma, of malt toffee and vanilla oak, more wood; mild. Soft and round body; there is a very good caramel and toffee flavor, with harmonious vanilla and oak, making it a bit buttery. Good bitterness, but not covering the malt profile. Excellent.

from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy ruby-brown colour with a modest head retention; shows a robust oak character with woody and vanilla tones, notes od prunes and black currant marmalade; solid malt body and with a robust sweetness partially balanced by a fair bitterness, sticky and oily palate, moderate carbonation, some warming alcohol presence in a long hoppy and woody finish with more notes of red fruits - a beautiful one
