Grain flavor and aroma. Malt in the flavor and aroma, a little chocolate, raisins and alcohol. The grain and bitter hops make this bitter overall. A well made beer but I’m not really into the flavor.

Pours with a puffy, white head covereing a chill-hazed golden body. Good lacing. Aroma is of tangy pine, lots of toffee and grapefruit. Taste is a tad sour, with nice citrus hops and a noticable lack of malt character. The mouthfeel was a bit odd...dry at first and then turned a bit oily. Lively carbonation.

2006 Bottle. Pours with a small off-white head that reverts to a ring pretty quickly. Decent lacing. Pours a amber brown color with some small yeast particles floating around. Aroma has prunes, pears, madera, toffee, vanilla, and Belgian candi sugar. Taste has the alcohol uncharacteristically upfront for Alesmith. The taste sticks around for a while, with sweet and tangy pitted fruits and some vanilla. For some reason I didn’t like it too much, and it is not my favorite Alesmith beer by a long shot. Dryish mouthfeel, with low carbonation....7464143.5

Bottle: Hazy copper brown with a thick, creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Aroma is malty, caramels, fruity, citrus, and a touch bready. Flavor is smooth and mellow. This was a 2006 bottle enjoyed 1.5 years cellared. Creamy and rich feel with plenty of citrus and caramel sweetness. A nice amount of dark fruits with a light vinous quality. Succulent comes to mind. Thanks to dirty_martini for sending this in trade.
