Mar 25, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy dark orange-brown with a spare diminishing tan head. Aroma’s slightly sour along with some caramel malt, nuts and chocolate. Flavour: Yuck, that’s not pleasant. Quite sour (not in a good way) -- infected maybe? Average bodied. A shame to release such a poor beer for an "Anniversary" edition.

May 6, 2007 Bottle. Deep mahogany pour with a rich frothy tan head on the surface. Nice lacing around the edge of the glass once it recedes. Nose is Toasty malts, caramel, some almost candyish notes, light dark fruits, cocoa and wafts of smoldering earth. Taste is chewy and malty with light nuttiness, chocolate, toasted malts, chewy caramel, light earthy hops, and candyish flavors. Body is medium-full to full with a creamy carbonation tingle and minor stickiness. The 400 Ale is completed with a stronger earthy hop bitterness, chocolate, caramel, toasted malts, light coffee and dark fruits. Damn tasty!

Aug 31, 2007 Quite nice. Not very complex but what is there is very good. High abv surely but it is well hidden. Thick, heavy palate. Aroma and flavor have sweet malt and brown sugar, and flavor has moderate hops as well. Thanks Bob.
