Draft. Hazy to cloudy reddish amber color. Aroma of bright caramel. Taste is sweet malt and black pepper. A big beer.

On gravity cask @ Blind Tiger House. Looks like it has been on a cask for sure. Cloudy deep dark amber on color and the bubbly translucent top that came in the pour is long gone before I get a chance to sit down at my table. Smells nice. Kinda sweet with licorice and gunpowder. Sorta peppery also perhaps? Smells really nice. Oh, lots of flavors there! Cask-flat of course and the mouthfeel is light oily. Almost salty in a way, lots of gunpowder, oxidation, lots of eastery banana, caramel, red really over ripe fruits and lots of grassy hops in the finish and aftertaste. Lovely stuff. 16.06.2013

At monthly De Molen tasting. Clear amber color, medium sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, wood, a bit sweet. Hard to describe really, but very nice. Nice body, medium carbo.

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting. Poured a clear dark brown with a tan head and broken lace. The aroma is roasted malt. The flavour is of caramel, malt and medium bitter. The palate is yeasty with some slightly bitter alcohol burn. Well worth tracking down to taste, but I feel it might become a little sickly after a while.

Location: 750 ml bottle, corked, caged, and wrapped in paper, from The Hop, 10/11/12
Aroma: The nose has sweet malts, some bread, and hints of roast as well
Appearance: It pours a dark reddish color with a small beige head and light lace
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, it is fairly malty, and has a light hop bitterness present
Palate: The body is medium, it has a soft carbonation, a little stickiness, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: This beer is decent, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but it is nothing to write home about. The flavors are fine, but nothing stands out. Drinkable. Didn't do much for me.

Bottle, 13C. Clear dark amber with a beige head. Aroma of stewed fruits, sherry, oranges, leather, toffee - quite old ale-ish with a dash of doppelbock. Sweet with balancing bitterness. Medium-bodied, just slightly syrupy. Very nice modest carbonation. As much dried fruit as caramel, definite aged notes - a touch of sourness as well as oxidation. Some sweetshop/ medicinal spices at the end. After a while the sweetness starts to defeat the finish. Going somewhere unusual for a US beer and pretty much succeeding. Interesting beer.
