22 oz. bottle courtesy of Zinister. 2006 Vintage. Pour is clear ruby brown with a 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma is very strong citrus fruit, apple, vinegar (without the sour), and I could detect it easily on the pour. After this initial wave, I was able to get some brown sugar, and almost a baking cookie aroma. Taste is very much sugary raisin out of the gate, though they tasted like raisins that were breaded in cookie batter. Caramel is present, and heat. The finish is some exotic spiciness and another wave of the heat. Palate is pretty syrupy, though served well to settle the big flavors in this down a bit. This beer really came after you - the aroma was about as big as I have ever experiences, and the taste was very ragged and in your face. I am not sure what to think of this one, normally I really don’t like beers that are this unrefined, but this one was really pretty interesting. Thanks for sending this one up Mike!

Bomber from Kaggie97;Nose of caramel, spiciness, and breadiness; color is clear rusty brown with a small beige head; flavor of caramel, light hops, vanilla, with some herbal qualities; pretty darn good brew.

A light, thin looking beer. Aroma has minimal malt. Flavor is medium sweet, with light fruit and malt. Solid but uninspired.
