Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle courtesy of Okbeer: Poured a deep brown color ale with a small foamy head with some retention and light lacing. Aroma of sugar is so pronounced that it gets quite gross and doesnt allow for any other aspects of the beer to come through. Taste is also dominated by the sweetness and doesnt allow much else to come through. I didnt notice any la
Bottle: Pours a rich reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose of maltiness and dark fruits. Some hops present, but overall its pretty sweet. Taste is fruity, then a little alcohol kicks in. Some caramel and winelike taste in the trailer. Aftertaste includes a little chocolate. Very tasty, but it seems like a lot going on here.
12 oz. bottle via trade with IrishBoy - Pours a light brown color with a one finger thick light tan head. Aroma is spicey sweet and light esters. Flavor is toasted malt, spice, and esters. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. Medium body. A nice BW. Thanks Richard.
