Oct 31, 2009 Bomber via trade thanks to dug on BA. Pours a mostly clear bright reddish-copper color with a one-finger off-white head that lasts and leaves good lacing. Aroma is caramel, black tea, herbs, and tropical fruit, especially pineapple. Flavor is really interesting with caramel, toffee, honey, earth, black and herbal tea, pineapple, and citrusy hops. Really a lot going on. Not intense but well-balanced and very tasty. Body is medium and mouthfeel is very crisp and a little dry. Very drinkable. This is really incredible for a style that is not typically very exciting. FFF almost always impresses, and this is no exception.

Oct 5, 2009 Pours a hazy copper color with an inch of off-white head. Smells of caramel, grass, and nutty. Flavor had notes of nuts, coffee, grass, and earth. Large amounts of carbonation made it feel thin and fizzy and also gave me a stomach ache. Not really my bag but not bad for what it was.

Sep 22, 2009 Bomber poured into a tulip. Amber color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt and slight coffee. Taste is slightly coffee, with toasty sweet malt and very faint hops. Medium crisp mouthfeel, very smooth. Pretty good session beer!

Sep 9, 2009 Another bottle shared with Woody Chandler, thanks again! An amber pour with no head. Caramel malts with notes of pineapple. Very mellowed probably due to the three year cellar time. This was not flat but mild and lacking some essential flavors.

Taste of toffee, malts, citrus hops and a hint of pepper. Mouthfeel was thin in body with zero carbonation Another bottle appx 3 years old !!!
