    (7oz bottle - Vintage 08FF) Haven’t seen this before so figured I would give it a try. Pours with carbonation, but nothing in the way of a head ever forms. Very malty aroma. Almost to the point of a dopplebock. Lots of sweet malts and light brown sugars. Flavor is thick with raisin and cola. Hop backbone appears in the aftertaste. Body somewhat light. Glad I got the chance to try it, but nothing exciting to remember.

    12 oz. A short yet thick and creamy tan colored head formed with a dark dark amber beer hue. The aroma is of sweet malt syrup first then a hint of hops sneaks in. The taste is full sweet malt flavor of toffee/caramel – ish followed by a moderate bitterness that lingers into the dry finish. It seems to start off with a classic English Barelywine sweetness and finishes with a more American Barelywine hop influence. A good Barelywine. I’d personally prefer a bit more hops. But that’s just me, eh.

    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.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

    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.
