The beers a deep mahogany color, slightly hazy, and topped by a very generous tan colored cap. Very good lacing on this one. A nice complex aroma including figs, licorice, fresh bread, light citrus, and alcohol. Mouthfeel is average. The flavor is malt forward with notes of fruit, sugar, and alcohol, but there is a bit of a hoppy finish.

Bottle from a shop that no longer exists. Spooky. Vintage 07A.

Rare Vos glass. Black on brown, opaque body. Weak, light tan head.
A couple of swirls & a sniff, & I get toffee, Cheerios, marzipan, pennies, booze.
Taste is really sweet. The hops have jumped ship. Brown sugar, cola, frosted flakes. A hint of acid & cardboard right at the end.
Nearly flat, thick, & super rich. Syrup. The booze factor isn't that bad though.

I have such a headache...

Poured a murky reddish-brown color with a head that is cream colored and is standing about an inch tall following the pour. Nice retention and lacing on the glass. The aroma is that of Caramel malts, dark brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon coated dates, as well as some sticky wet hops. The taste is a nice layer of thick sweet malt up front accompanied by some earthy notes with some caramel and light spice towards the middle. It’s sweet, but not too sweet with just enough bitterness from the hops towards the back-end to take the edge off. The finish is full of thick caramel malt flavor. It has a full bodied feel with a sticky syrup quality and soft carbonation.

355 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original Flying Dog glass a clear burgundy-brown coloured EBW with a one finger beige creamy foamy head that had a long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Some lacing. The aroma is toasted malts, dark fuits, riped raisins, plums, figs and spicy, licorice. The flavour is strong sweeted malts, spicy, licorice, dark riped fruits, raisins, plums and floral hops. The mouthfeel is creamy, sweety and syrupy. This full bodied EBW has a long syrupy and light bitter finish and, due to the high alcoholic level, the expected slight warming effect. For me a by far too sweety EBW.

Deep red-brown upon pouring with no head whatsoever and lacing the same. No carbonation but nice aromas and flavors of figs, banana and spice. Alcohol is readily apparent, but not obnoxious.

This dog has a bite. A deep reddish amber color on pour. A moderate foamy light beige head sits on top. On hang time, the dog is a tad lame. Settles into a light soapy lacing. The aroma is alcohol, hops and sweet malt buried underneath. The body is thick and creamy. The taste, like the nose is alcohol and sweet malt sugars. Let this one warm and the bite tones down.

Bottle from 2007: Malty, chewy and sweet. Aromas and flavors of figs, molasses and sugar cookies. Minimal hop presence, this one is all malt. Dark, rich, glorious malts providing layers of dark fruit and roasted grain flavors. Mottled amber brown in color, minimal head and lacing. Warm and generously filling. I was surprised by the depth of this brew.

Pours a dark red (almost brown) with a thin tan head. Most noticeable in this beer is the alcohol--they seem to have made no attempt to hide the 10.5% ABV. Besides the alcohol, I also detect some sweet, dark fruit and malt in the aroma. Besides burning the throat going down, this beer is sweet (bordering on too sweet). I would like to see a little more balance here.
