6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
355ml bottle [9.3% abv]. Cloudy, dark amber colour with small, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, caramel malty aroma, weak BA support with a touch of oak, Bourbon, vanilla. Taste is dry, caramel malty, slightly peppery, yeasty spicy, minimally papery, bitter hoppy, notes of caramel with subtle residual sweetness, very cautious BA support with a minimally tannic touch of oak, light vanilla; slightly warming, alcoholic finish. Dissolved sugar-enriched, watery texture, dry, minimally pungent palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Rather monotonous, simple, not overly impressive.

Bottle. Dark amber, offwhite lace. Dry roast, light cheesy, meaty, oxidized, a hint oak. Full bodied, roast, honey cakes, dry, salty, ok salted caramel finish. Weird

Copper clear with little white head. Aroma is heavy malty stuff, my tasting group says dirty diaper and sadly they are right. Orange maybe. Taste is alcoholic bittersweetness. Spicy and alcoholic finish. Meh.

Bottle. Amber color with tan head. Aroma is dirty diapers, some cheese. After a while, it’s a bit better and meaty. Taste is the same, sweet, a bit tart. Weird and not good.

12oz bottle pours a clear, brick red amber with some cloudy, white head. Nose has stale grist, paper, some wet dog, mild orange, caramel. Flavor has booze, candlewax, grist, bread crust, a little ketchup. Full bodied, boozy finish.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2014 Asheville - Late Nite session. Cheers! Pours clear amber with a frothy, tan head. Good stuff. Lots of bread, toffee, dates and plums. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Very nicely balanced in the finish, with more ripened fruits, toffee and bready malts. Hits the right notes.

12oz bottle, courtesy of markwise, pours with a nice murky amber body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up molasses, prunes, brown sugar, some nuttiness and then mild smooth bourbon and booze. Nice indeed. The taste starts smooth and rich with molasses and smooth nutty sweetness and then quickly picking up brown sugar dredged prunes and dates amid a pleasing pine hoppiness. Just as the dark fruity esters start to reach nectar goodness the smooth sweet bourbon notes come to the surface with more nuttiness and some modest booze to help bring this to the finish. This is a great sipper.
