3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour from a 750 is orangish amber with a soft white head. Smells of caramel, molasses, dried fruit, plumes, and spice. Just like Thanksgiving dessert! Sweet and soft on the pallete coat the mouth well and goes done easy. You can taste the alcohol some but it is not a distraction. Finish is thick and bitter with a slightly metallic quality.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a dark amber. Nice sweet aroma. Candied fruits (oranges, pears?) caress the palate. The hops provide the bitter balance necessary to keep it from becoming too sweet. Alcohol is definitely present, but nicely covered. I really enjoyed this one. I’d like to get my hands on some and bring them out for special occasions. Who needs champagne?
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
First time tasting this
ale. It rolls very smoothly over the tongue with a brief tingle of carbonation then a sense of fruit and malted grain. The finish sustains those flavors as they dissipate maintaining the body as the flavors fade.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Corked bottle from KAggie97. Thanks for going all the way to Colorado to get this one for me! I love you! Pours a beautiful, cloudy cheddar orange with an aroma of yeasty cinammon, bready peach, and a touch of sour orange. The head of slight beige leaves a complex lattice work that, if I was on acid, I could stare at for at least 20 minutes. I’d probably be able to translate the designs into Hebrew or maybe Portuguese. Anyhoo... Flavor is a rush of alcohol-soaked bread and tart peach, wtih hints of candy sugar and strawberry. Whew! This one, at 12% ABV, took my breath away. But not in a Berlin kind of way. Nice mouthfeel that is puffy and thick on the palate; the taste buds are immediately partying from both the intensity of the flavors and the alcohol; mostly the alcohol. This is a great beer. Wish I had bought more.
