hiddenvariable (182), pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 28, 2008 bottle at kelly’s 2008 hell with the lid off. at this point in the festival, my notes started getting a bit sparse. caramel and butterscotch diacetyl? notes, with some cherries, and some pear and earthy hops. strange airy mouthfeel that i didn’t like overmuch. still, decent tasting.
WeeHeavySD (1841), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 27, 2008 500ml, i’ve had in the cellar for something like 2 years. Pours dark brown with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and ok. Taste is sweet with nice caramel notes. Decent. lumpsowers (87), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA Sep 23, 2008 Foamy head, nice lacing, coppery dark brown color. Light malty aroma. Medium mouthfeel, high malt dominates, with chocolate aftertaste. Hops is soft and floral, alcoholic after. Good, but not "Devilishly Good". danielcurtis81 (98), San Diego, California, USA Sep 21, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours cloudy cider brown with no real head. Not much smell. A bitey fruity acid taste that is smooth. Very relaxing strong beer. Great for the evening. dm9831 (601), Monee, Illinois, USA Sep 16, 2008 brown body, mild tan head. aroma of malt and fruit. flavor is slightly creamy and maltywith quite a warming alcoholic presense. oily body, alightly bitter dry fruit in the finish. well worth the taste test. i picked up a pint+ bottle of this for less than $4 at The Liquor Depot in Monee. StFun (338), Indiana, USA Sep 13, 2008 Had this one as part of "Youngs Night" Not bad really, just bland. Like a Barleywine lite. Nice and creamy, with some malt and carmel, and a good amount of hops. A nice sugar profile in this one. Nothing really stands out about this one.
