Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Bottle. Pours pale copper color with small white head. Aroma is of sour grapes. Alcohol smell is clearly there. Tastes very sweet with a lingering sourness. Feels thick in the mouth. Again the alcohol is very prevalent. Interesting, but not really for me.
Looks like a single malt scotch, light runny, and a sliht golden tint. Small fine white head. Aroma of corn, sugar, and some earthen underground, musty smell, and grapes. Flaor is like malty light barley wine, honey. Mild, smooth finish of light sweet barley.
interesting.... a little fizzy with heavy honey and fruity notes. Easy to drink and tasty, but somehow thin and tinny. Previous rater recommends aging this beer and I think that would be a good idea.
