3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Deep copper with a light head and a touch of lacing. Bittering hops in the nose with a large hop profile. Spicy with caramel malts. Brown sugar comes around with the heat of the alcohol rearing up.

Draft. Pours muddy orange with a thin head. Dark fruity aroma with some oxidation and sherry. The flavor has apple, raisin, brown sugar, sherry and some oxidation. Not bad for a 6 year old beer.

Alkoholisch strenger Geruch. Würziger Antrunk der jedoch bald abflacht.Leicht süßlich-alkoholisch, etwas im Rachen brennend.Nicht sehr aromatisch, likörartig, etwas unausgewogen, im Abgang harmonischer, stark, hefig, ok. Sehr ruppig! Vielen Dank an DerDoppelbock für das Bier!

2005 bottle. A ton of ginger in the nose. A weird clear orangy color. smells a ton of ginger and tastes like a bad gin drink. Just weird to me but I like how different it tries to be.

2005 edition. 22 ounce bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A very sweet caramel and toffee nose. The flavor is hot and sweet; toffee, sugars, sweet candied fruits, a thin body. Some oxidation. Very sweet and light dust. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber body with an off white head. Very spicy, herbal, ginger, some tyme, and earth. Modest warming with plenty of honey and pine notes. A decent malt bill but heavily spiced and the finish is just very hot. A nice strong ale.

29th June 2008. Brewed with honey and spices. The ingredients are not sublte! Sweet and aromatic with strong ginger and honey. Spice in there as well but hard to identify as it’s well integrated. A distinctive tasty beer.

22oz bottle via trade. Pours a swamp water brown with a thin off white ring. Lots of spice with some candied cherries and herbs on the nose, some faint oxidation in there as well. Lots of sweet caramel and toffee on the palate with a lingering spicy finish. Pretty tasty, the booze is very well hidden.

With many thanks to HogTownHarry. How he manages to cellar stuff for so long is beyond me! Cheers. Appearance: Ginger/brown with medium visible carbonation, zero head. Aroma: Ripe apple, toffee, ginger, lots of fruit, caramel, a little alcohol, banana, oak and spices. Wow. Flavour: Ginger, oak, whiskey, lots of malt, banana, cinnamon and an almost pumpkin ale character to it, the alcohol is warming but nicely aged and therefore very complimentary. Long malt & pumpkin finish. Very enjoyable.

Thanks to DIM for this one!
Pours a dirty caramel color with a very fleeting white head.
Sweet caramel and light alcohol in the nose.
Rich caramel and dates dominate the flavor with some alcohol and spiciness present as well.
Low carbonation gives this one a very thick mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth and a slight bite at the end.
Sips well, but a 4-6 ounce serving is probably all that is needed.
Not bad. The aging seems to have helped this. I imagine this was way too hot and harsh fresh - even now, the alcohol is definitely present. Tasty now though.
