03 bottle provided by Eyedrinkale (thanks Mike) at the last (supposedly) Heavyweight Open House. Poured into a small tasting glass. Poured with lots of floaties. Color is orangish-amber. Strong aroma - malty with orange-like citrus hints. Taste is very original - definite tangerine flavors really coming through a subdued barleywine sweetness. Nice.

Pours burgundy/brown into a trappist glass. Head quickly dissipates to spot the surface and hug rim. No noticeable aroma. Thin with prunes, dates and figs. Dry caramel finish.

Bottle from santa - pours a medium ruby hue, looking more like a dark brown ale or an abbey dubbel - chocolate malt dominates the aroma, with not much else going on (kind of smells like chocolate malt thrown into some hard water) - quite well-bittered for the style, tasting almost like a porter/esb hybrid - chocolate and a slight herbal quality are prominent throughout the flavor - smokey, almost ashy finish - nothing spectacular, but worth drinking at least once.

Poured black with medium tan head. Aroma of sweet molasses, toffee and chocolate malts, a bit of oatmeal maybe or grains and a tad of alcohol. Full rich, albeit a bit one dimensional, malt flavor. Lingering dry roasted malt flavor that sits on my tongue. I sense a bit of hops hiding behind the malt flavor. Just before the next sip I taste a hint of oatmeal or maybe grain malts. I don’t sense the 10%+ ABV at all.

2006 bottle consumed on 5/20/06. Fluffy enough off-white head, with very light lacing, moderate retention, but quite clear and I don’t see any sediment on the bottom. Deep, burnished copper with a strong honey-golden hue. Aroma has plenty of yeast, thick, highly phenolic and quite dominant. Syrupy, thick honey-like malt seems to be underattenuated, even from the nose. A fair essence of vanilla on the finish dries things out, with alcohol dryness as well. Sharp, extremely unrefined. First notes are awash in alcohol and syrupy-sweet honey-malt. Sugary graham crackers, drenched in honey, balance the dry vanilla oakiness and heavy phenols. Some light citrus notes and very sharp alcohol, with an overly filtered texture that does not leave much of a deep texture. Though the heavily sweet, underattenuated malts do keep it from being loose. Just dosent speak to quality brewing. Way too over-the-top and unbalanced.
