From old tasting notes. Hazy caramel brown color with a brief white head. Sweet malt aroma hints a caramel apples. Chewy sweet caramel malt flavor has a mellow warming approach. Despite the obvious alcohol prescence, this brew is remarkably smooth.nvery complex and tasty.

[This bottle was stored in my cellar for 3 1/2 years] We expected more from this very strong ale; they should improve the malt flavor and reduce the unusual aromas and uneven flavors. Copper amber colour, a bit cloudy (there's a lot of yeast in the bottle). Strong aroma, of malt and tar (?). Little carbonation. Rich, medium-dry; it lacks of true malt and hop flavors; a hint of liquorice. Strong and bitter final, quite long.

Raw malty flavours. Some astringency. Not up to this brewer's normally fine standards. One the other hand, it does boast some of the year's best packaging.
