Palidor19 (1386), Brandon, Florida, USA Nov 20, 2008 great smooth aroma of toffee and caramel, slightly fizzy but plenty of body, not too sweet but excellent all around biggmike (430), Gulfport, Mississippi, USA Nov 20, 2008 Poured a dark brown/reddish color with fluffy head that lasted a little while. Aroma was malty and had hints of dark fruit. Taste is similar to the smell with some nice hops bitterness to balance it off. Mouthfeel was very pleasant. Drinkability for a beer of this abv was not too bad. Good stuff that I would have again.

Taste, nice caramel malts. Fruity, almost syrupy (maple) light hops, good carbonation.
More goodness by Eel River.
durhambeer (619), Durham, USA Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Deep amber-reddish pour with off-white head. Nicely sweet malt character... toffee, a bit of butterscotch, caramel. Earthy and slightly dusty tasting. Some dark fruits, and a surprising amount of hops--without going overboard. Solid beer. markwise (347), Just North of Tampa, Florida, USA Nov 18, 2008 Pours a deep red-amber color with aroma and flavor of malt, maple, molasses, and it finishes with a nice sweetness. Excellent Old Ale.
