Entered to celebrate my rating number 13,400. Draft at the brewery. A dark brown beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, alcohol, bourbon, caramel, and wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, and medium notes of wood and alcohol, the latter burning lightly in the mouth, also light notes of bourbon, leading to a dry, woody, and alcoholic finish.

750 ml bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Pour is hazed cloudy golden yellow with a one inch head that falls quick. Aroma of earthy, barnyard straw and slightly clove honey sweetness. Taste is grainy dusty, fresh cut hay, straw slight barnyard, the clove is there from the nose, but not really any of the sweetness that was present. Quite a bit of black pepper spice. Very dry finish. Palate is medium, high carbonation, extremely dry and dusty finish. Clean and quite drinkable. Thanks for this one Eric!

Tap at Sac Brew. Pours a dark orangey brown with a significant orange tinged beige head. Aromas of caramel and citrus? Full bodied with mild carbonation. Flavor of sweetish roasted caramel, spice and citrus. There’s a pervading fruitiness that seems plummy. Almost seems to be a bit of canteloupe. Nice mouthfeel. A bit sweet, but not sticky. Finishes with a slightly balancing tartness, but dry it is not. Reminds of an aged strong ale in some aspects. Good experience.

Bottle #81. Rich toffee brown color with no head. Brown sugar and bourbon aroma with dried fruit. Rich brown sugar and slight molassess flavor with bourbon and light spice/light wood. Medium bodied. Very low carbonation (will someone start a thread about high priced bottle with no carbonation for this beer?). Lingering brown sugar, caramel/toffee, bourbon, woodsiness, and a slight metallic twang. Lack of carbonation is definitely hurting it.

Location: On tap at the Ginger Man in NYC, 4.5 oz glass as part of a flight, 6/27/09
Aroma: Sweet and spicy nose, fruity, peppery, some yeast
Appearance: A cloudy golden-orange color
Flavor: Has a nice subdued sweetness, a few different fruity flavors and a nice spice, similar to the nose
Palate: Full bodied beer with a nice dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty good, it's interesting, you can really taste the spice there, and it drinks pretty nicely, doesn't taste like it's 8%. A pretty solid beer, I believe this is the first thing I have ever tried from the Bruery, and I look forward to tasting more of their offerings in the future.

Courtesy of Tampabrew. Pours dark dark brown with deep purple hues and full, nearly frothy, mocha head. The aroma is sweet with dark grape jam, fruity granola bars, pancakes and vague spiciness. Interesting aroma that seems to do its best to avoid description. The taste is both dry and sweet at the same time with grapes, apples and muted roasted and slightly dusty grains. The flavor then begins to take on a white wine quality. This is pretty nice to drink but also a bit odd.
