3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours an elegant dark amber/copper with a small white head that vanishes quickly. Intense aroma of spiced apples, caramel, and alcohol. A nice creamy, heavy body that supports all of the flavors. This is a complex brew. Heavy cider taste, sweet and malty almost candy-like... highly alcoholic candy. This will warm your stomach nicely next to a fire on a cold night.

Red-amber pour with very thin head. Yeast and alcohol on the nose. Taste is fruity with a strong alcohol presence. Not bad, might improve with some aging.

(on bottle, thanx to Yngwie and Gunnfryd) Dried abricot and moulded esters. The taste is malty and full of blackberries. The 11% comes in very fast in the finish and totally ruins the palate, sugars and a burning alcohol all over.

Bottle @ thewolf tasting.
[thank you Yngwie/Gunnfryd]
Pours orange amber with a small creamy film head. Some slight lacing. Fine mouthfeel - though a bit thin. Aroma is very much yeast (very quad-like), lots of caramel. Flavour is very alcoholic and sharp. Some caramel. Far too much alcohol.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from a bomber bottle. It was a cloudy amber / orange color with a thin head. The head disapated rather quickly to just a thin film. The aroma wasn’t too strong, but what there was was predominately alcohol and a little sweet. The consistancy was creamy and smooth with an initial sweet taste that was hard to distinguish.. It seemed like raisins and brown sugar and there was a definite alcohol taste that gave a little bite that mellowed to a warming feeling on the palate. I thought that there was too much alcohol coming through the other flavors. It needed something to mellow the alcohol and lightly mellow out the sweetness. Generally though very good!
