Jan 2, 2010 Draught @ Porters in Medford: Garnet in color, off-white head, fairly large, sticky lacing. Looks decent enough. Nutty nose, malty, certainly biscuity. Marris Otter malts on the tongue? At least that is what I think it is, very biscuity. Malty, but not heavy. Lighter example of the style, but decent enough. Body and mouthfeel border between moderate and full. Slightly fruity on the exit. Decent beer, not so heavy with the biscuit aspect, which I dislike if too heavy. Fairly well balanced, obviously the hop side of this is miniscule. Simple and enjoyable.

Jun 19, 2007 Probably THE BEST strong ale I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many. If your a fan of Strong Ales this is a must! Full bodied with a very light fruity taste and a kick.

Mar 17, 2006 A very fruity and yet nicely malty strong ale. Not quite well balanced, but yet very drinkable and quite tasty. A nice hop bitterness kicks in on the finish, great lingering flavors on the palate.

Jul 28, 2004 On tap at the Horse Brass pub in Portland. Clear ruby red color with a thin, off-white head that left strong lacing. Lots of sweetness in the nose, like the belgian candi sugar. Tons of malt sweetness but with equal tons of hops to balance it out. It is not an IPA hoppiness (I wrote down American Strong Ale as my guess for it’s style). I really liked it and wished it was available here.
