Brown color wih nice generous head and nice lace. The aroma features mainly harmonious vanilla and some oxidisation. The mouthfeel is very smooth, well blended, with caramel flavor and nice Bourbon vanilla; more dark caramel later. Maybe less impact and freshness in the final. Still good, I wouldn’t age it more.

Hazy dark amber color; small head. Rough aroma: alcohol, dust, sweat, yeast. Strong body, caramel flavor, harsh hop resins; not enough fruity or sweet.

Dark brown color; creamy persistent head. Beautiful aroma, where the hop is melting into sweet caramel and vanilla. The body is well structured, malty and caramel flavor, but I was expecting more sweetness at the end. Bold bitterness of course, but not enough exciting. Pleasant but controversial.

22 oz. bottle received from both Zinister and MrBendo in separate trades. Pour is a slightly hazed ruby brown with a decent tan head on top. Aroma of sweet malt grain (rye?) and a bunch of resiny bitter hops. The taste is a nice combo of the sweet caramel malt, the resin hops and a nice finish with the graininess. The body of this one is huge, almost chewy. Initially served at about 50 degrees. When this warmed to about 65 or so, it really took on the nose of a hoppy Barley Wine. I really enjoyed this beer a lot, thanks fellas! (I look forward to the second one!)

Draught. Poured mahogany red with lekker beige head. Aroma of pine. hops and flowers. Full bodied flavour if oak, malt, grapes and cherries. Hoppish finisf that lasts forever. If you like Arrogant Bastard, drink this whenever you find it.

Beautiful reddish-brown beer, slightly hazy under a thick-set cream-beige head, lacey. Wood and hop smells. As if pine trees were used for leading up hop vines. As well as the crust of roast, covered by hopleaves. Dry hopsacks and the ubiquitous pie bottom. The wood has thinned out the beer, no doubt. It’s much more austere, severe than the usual ABA. Dry hard cheese, wood, cake, and "some" hops. Vinous, too, as a wine gone just slightly over its peak. There’s also a distinctive flavour of cervil, strange, but welcome. Thinner as expected, alcohol just not hidden, even if it belies it 7.2% ABV. Quite interesting beer. In fact, despite its predictability (is that English?), it comes out as more than the sum of its parts. I rather like it, and a big thanks to MikeK!

2007 Bottle. Pours dark amber, cola colored with little head. Aroma is heavy malt iwith a hoppy undertone. Brown sugar. Taste is phenomenal. Strong hop taste, balanced with strong brown sugar, caramel taste. Mouthfeel is very creamy and a little thicker, maybe like a barleywine. Absolutely delicious. This is not an intimidating beer in the slightest, but it is very, very good.
