Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with dusty notes of hops, over ripe fruit, and lots of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish.

From bottle #4 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished off-white head. Dry wooden and malty dense aroma. Dry malty and mildly spiced and caramel dense flavour. Spiced and malty finish. Dry.

05 from Skyview. An aroma of very mild hops. Malt in the flavor and lots of spice, some barnyard character but not sour, at least not yet, but it definitely has a farmhouse quality to it. Cloudy yellow appearance that is right on for the style.

[750ml bottle, 2005 vintage, signed by brewers] The cork was very well embedded. Rich dark caramel aroma, something like mushroom and/or wood, along with floral hop, and some dark fruit. Warm darkish amber copper color with virtually no head (what there was, was a passing beige). Mild carbonation; medium body. Earthy, dark fruit notes. Brown sugary toasted malt. Some citrus oil. The alcohol is quite warming. Finally some lighter stone fruit and floral bits are detectable. The finish is somewhat dry, and peppery spicy hints creep in. Remnants of earthy, woody notes. The mouth tingles. Definitely marvelous.

2005 bottle. Cloudy dark amber. Heavy caramel, with rich earth to it. Light caramel and earth character, but the body is big and it’s surprisingly boozy. At times this could pass for a barley wine, yet does not have any forcefulness of character.

On tap at Pelican Pub and Brewery, Pacific City, OR. Deep copper with off white head. Malty aroma. Odd flavour in here. Some odd herb. Some choc. Malty in mouth. The herb/spice isn’t nice though.

On tap at Pelican Pub & Brewery Pacific City OR. Pours out a dark amber topped with a tan head. A nice aroma of malt and some sweet.

Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided by Styles. October 2004 bottling, bottle #252/400. Coppery red body, thin off-white head. Caramely aroma with some pine and grapefruit notes, bready. Caramely, lightly fruity body with earthy and piney hops, some spiciness. Medium-bodied with rich malts and hops. I believe the use of American hops stymied what the brewers were aiming for here.
