Courtesy SoLan. Pours mostly clear, darkly brazen color with minimal, swirly, off-white foam at the surface. Virtually no lacing noted. Aromatics are strong and inviting, with gobs of caramel and toffee showing obvious signs of their long and luxurious bath in the brandy barrel. Notes of rich butterscotch meet warm candied apples and vanilla. Flavors again display buttery, caramelized richness honed in by the apple brandy and oaky vanilla. Were it a touch hoppier, I’d call in a barley wine. Medium-full bodied, lightly carbonated, and slightly syrupy on the finish. Overall, a very, very good beer.

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.
