Bottle with "best by" notch of Dec-03, tasted 11/25/2005 but I think it’ll be enjoyable. Pours deepbrown with ruby highlights. Fizzy, but with no head. Smell of molasses and brown sugar. Taste has molasses to it, too. So it’s sugary, and there are bits of sherry, too, with a note of plum. With this much sweetness, it’s hard to distinguish any hops. I seem to keep picking up over-aged doppelbocks, but at least I like how they turn out.

Thanks to Goldtwins for this one! This starts with a small fleeting head of white over a hazy amber body. Little to no aroma which is echoed in the lack of flavor as well. Thin. Very unimpressive.

on tap-pours a thin white head with yellow body. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is Grain with good carbonation. And a crisp mouthfeel. This was the first beer from Tommyknocker I tried, and was quite pleased after the mixed reviews I had heard after arriving in Colorado.

Bottle Burnt sugar/maple syrup aroma. Dark brown color with light ring of a head. Initial flavor sweet maple syrup followed quickly by a moderate bitter/atringent flavor. Not overpowering - nice and smooth for a beer this strong. Very good.

A beer that sounds like a children’s cereal and looks like a sparkling wine. Great! Pours a pinkish peach color with an ultra thin white head that is gone immediately. No real lacing is evident. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied and crisp with a sweet fruit flavor of berries and Starburst. The finish is very bubbly and tart. I didn’t finish the glass.

Deep brown color with a slightly red tint and foamy off-white head - a mouth-watering, explosive aroma of caramel, toffee, maple syrup, grain and nuttiness - medium bodied with a somewhat tingly mouthfeel - sweet, but moderately grainy and hoppy, giving it a kind of breakfast cereal with honey in it kind of flavor - finished a little thin and alcoholic - something different that’s worth a shot, but the aroma is as good as it gets.

A light orange beer with a fine but disappearing white head. The aroma is very flowery. The flavor is sweet flowery with notes of caramel, leading to a hoppy end. I’m surprised how little malty this beer is.

A red-brown beer with a fine but disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt, caramel and nuts. The flavor is very roasted with notes of nuts as well as some burnt notes - I pick up more honey notes than maple sirup. The body is thin.
