Deep ruby red ale. Extreme malty/caramel flavor; sweet up front, finishing with hop bitterness and aroma. Very complex beer. We recommend at least four more months of age. But it is a delight to drink now.
Batch 1 - brewed late 2003, draught only.
Batch 2 - brewed 8/1/2004
Batch 3 - brewed 2/16/2005
Batch 4 - brewed end of Dec. 2005 (part of this batch was bourbon-aged)

Bottle at le mondiale 2011. Deep murky brown pour, next to ne head. Dark boozy, spicy aroma. Caramel, plums, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and some licorice. The malt is thick and chewy, and quite sticky. Heavy body, viscous, and rich. Sweet caramel finish with a dark deep nutty boozy aftertaste. Quite an experience!

Pours a clear deep ruby brown body and a small beige head with fairly good retention. Aroma's: sweet, red fruit, caramel, old-ish. Retronasal it's sweet, old-ish (or matured), herbal, fruity. Flavor is above moderate sweet with light bitterness. Above medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Warming alcohol. Finishes with increasing bitterness. Happy to conclude this is still a beautiful beer.

355ml bottle. Thx VastActiv. Poured brown in color, not much head. Raisiny, plummy nose. Very soft mouthfeel. Scaringly drinkable.
