Pours a rich orangey caramel topped by pale peach coloured, frothy head. Lots of sticky lacing.

Lots or caramel, breadiness and malt in the aroma, with hints of rum and oak and brown sugar. The hops add a light touch of grassiness and citrus.

The thing that strikes me at first is how boozy this is for a 9%er, but luckily that fades a little with each sip. Aside from that it's incredibly malty with just enough of a hop kick to keep it from going overboard. It's almost like sucking a Werther's Original and a Menthos at the same time. Lots of toffee, caramel and butterscotch with underpinnings of raisins with an herbal, spiciness from the hops.

Full bodied, borderline chewy mouthfeel leaves the rich taste lingering on the palate for some time leaving an alcohol warmth that sticks with me.

Enjoyable but nothing I'd race back for.

Poured into a glass mug. The beer pours dark hazy copper with a thin, lasting white head and lots of streaming tiny bubbles. The beer smells like caramel and brown bread. There's a touch of earthiness from the hops that I detect in the smell. The beer is a bit more bitter than the aroma would suggest, with the earthy flavors being a bit more forward than I would have expected. I get the caramel and bread that I also got in the smell. I can also taste some of the alcohol. The body is full with moderate carbonation. The beer goes down pretty smoothy and it has a nice warming quality from the alcohol. This is a very good beer.

Purchased at Tacoma Boys. Appearance is hazy ruby brown. Beautiful white head with good sustainablity. Aroma is dominated by caramel and toffee notes. Flavors are sweet, caramel malt and toffee with no noticeable bitterness. Smooth creamy velvety body. This is great, great, great. A real treat.
