Rated March 2010. On tap at the 2010 installment of Stogies and Stouts pouring very dark with ruby / mahogany edges and tan head. The very light aroma seems to be roast and a sense of sweetness. The taste begins with a pleasing smoothness rolling into dark roasted malts, chocolate cookie and a nice sweet creaminess too. Damn, this is good stuff.

Rated Jan. 2008. On tap @ brewery. Pours clear copper with off white head. The aroma comes across as rather fruity with cherries, prunes, figs, raisins and then plenty of winter spice that seems like coriander, cinnamon and cloves. The taste is fruity too like the nose starting with semi sweet cherries and moves toward figs, prunes and dates. A mild raisin and peppery-ness cuts the sweet fruitiness for a moment as the coriander, cinnamon and cloves come to the surface. I also get a faint caramel and malt sweetness that rides along the back of the flavor experience.

Rated Aug. 2008. Poured up in a squat tulip glass with a clear deep gold body and impressive near bright white head of foam. It was served a little too cold. The aroma seems to be honey, pilsner malts, candi sugar, a hint of pepper, banana, bubble gum and light colored fruity esters. It has a thick and rich flavor with notes coming in from all directions all at once. I get notes of Belgian candi sugar, sweet thick honey infused syrup, bold and brash notes of prunes and raisins being mixed with banana and a mild background of bubble gum. Could improve with age to attain a more blended smooth sensation. Very nice now though and I get no sense of the big 10.7% ABV.

Rated May 2008. 100th Florida brewed beer rating. On tap at brewery. Pours up brutally cold into a tumbler with thin white head and has an opaque hazy copper and ripe orange peel edges body. Pretty full aroma for a Florida beer. I get mildly roasted malts, grapefruit rind, sweet malts and pale maltiness. Darn good dangerously sessionable brew. Starts with malt sweetness coupled with spicy hop bitterness, an earthy type note and sort of grapefruit hop bitterness. Not too hop forward of a brew since the malts grow to midway with a pleasing combination of rye malt twang and grainy maltiness that blends into biscuit and lightly roasted crystal malts. Very nice confluence of flavors. To the finish mildly roasted malts mix with a growing somewhat vague hop bitterness that lingers deep into the after taste. Dunedin is cranky out some really good stuff lately.

Rated Nov. 2007. Pint on tap at brewery that pours a hazy copper with orange edges and thin white head. Mild aroma with some malt sweetness mixed with a punch of grapefruit hops. The taste is certainly an IPA. A mild malt sweetness starts things out for a moment until a fresh bitter grapefruit hoppiness kicks in. Nice hop experience with the tingling bitterness mixing with an upwelling of mild roasted malt sweetness.
