May 31, 2009 Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering brought interestingly enough, by a different Paul. Pours a brown to black with a medium beige to tan head. Everything about this beer just screams busy. Sweet chocolate, plums, prunes, hops.... it’s just all over the place. Yet, somehow amidst all of that, it’s still a really nice smelling brew. Flavors are nice and roasty with a nice carbonation helping out all of the roast and chocolate notes. Finishes a bit boozy and with a nice bitterness.

May 31, 2009 Hand bottle shared by Dickinsonbeer at Peter’s NY gathering - chunky brown pour - soapy lace - nose of rum, brown sugar, cookie dough, cherries, oak, vanilla - tastes of bourbon barrel, cherries, coconut, caramelized sugar, spicy alcohol notes - honestly, this tastes like most of the stylistically ambiguous barrel-aged american ales I’ve ever had - not bad, but not great, either - it just tries to bludgeon your palate into liking it, with mixed results.
