holdenn (1161), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 1, 2008 22 oz bottle consumed on 5/25/08 thanks to pantanap for this one. Pours a hazed brown orange with no head. Aged malts in the nose with raisin bran, the smell of a vitamin bottle, and oxidized malts. Sweet raisins, grainy malts, and brandy notes. Overly sweet and overly boozy. Not bad, but not especially my cup ’a beer.
darkguardian (194), Florida, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle at Otown Throwdown. Suprising amber color, quite clear. Big apple and toffee nose with a touch of butterscotch caramel. Big taste of sweet alcohol (though not burning but it is there) and banana with touches of apple, caramel, candi sugar and toffee. Very sweet with a lasting vanilla caramel finish. This rocked. fordest (1778), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Sep 27, 2008 Bottle shared with AlohaC at toncatcher’s tasting. My favorite of the night.Very sweet and malty aromas with hints of wood. Flavor was very vanilla and more sweet malt. Caramel and Dark fruits. Very very awesome. maniac (2022), Richmond, Virginia, USA Sep 27, 2008 Growler at RBSG2008 Grand Tasting on 08/02/2008.
