2012 bottle (I believe this comes out in the Spring) shared with my dad: we both are having this in snifters:

A: dark amber/brown colored body leaves a nice one finger white foamy head that lasts for thirty seconds before gently dieing into the body. Barely any lacing is seen.

S: caramel up front with some nice wheatiness coming out slightly as the beer warms with a bit of subtle raisin.

T: malty and shows a bit of aggressiveness as it wants to cling to my mouth.

M: very heavy, for 9.3, no alcohol is felt, tasted or smelled - very impressive, no worries

O: I like this and would come back to it, perhaps fresher to see how balanced it may be.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night!

22oz bottle. Looks to be bottled 05/01/12. Served in a Dogfish Head snifter.

Pours deep mahogany red with two fingers of fluffy head that leaves significant lace.

Subdued caramel nose.

Sweet smooth flavors of caramel, biscuit, syrup, mild toffee and a little booze.

Medium heavy, syrupy feel with subtle carbonation.

I've never had this fresh but this aged bottle tured out to be a great extra. Sweet, smooth caramel goodness.

12oz. bottle into a Flying Dog goblet (2012 vintage)

A: There is a nice gradient that is mainly dark brown but goes to a nice ruby around the edges where the refraction is. The lacing is very nice and the head was a caramel color.

S: Not too many notes here, it is all malt sweetness. It smells like a standard BW and there is no complexity here.

T: It is good and plain. There is now wow factor here for me. It is pretty sweet with a lot of caramel and syrup to it. However, it does get better as it warms up. Troegs taste description for it is good, but I got none of the Nugget Nectar, but this is a year old.

M: There is a nice combination of smoothness and subdued crispness. It is a great amount of carbonation.

O: I was really excited for this because of the high hop content, which I thought would make it taste like Bigfoot. I would say that it makes for a decent backup BW, but if it only comes in bombers then shoot for something else.
