This thing really is a topaz brown! The hoary head is bone, and the lacing sporadically amphibian. Automatically, somewhere between a cookie and a muffin. Toffee, dark wheat bread, prominent hops that are of a citrus nature, hemp seed brownies, grape leaves with brown rice. Perfect textural integration upon entry into a caramelly-rye core that influences throughout. There is lemongrass, candied lemon, sweet-ish grapefruit, wild dagga, a stippled licorice, resinous raindrops, spattered cola. Sigmar Polke and Roy Lichternstein's ghosts may have collaborated with a young Gerhard Richter on this one. Call a doctor if spots persist for more than four hours! #hopheads #sweetwater #georgia — 11 years ago

As a fan of Both Irish whiskey and stouts, this bottle was something of a revelation. A subtle nose with hints of rich caramel, coffee, and Turkish honey. A beautiful oaky topaz in color, this playful whiskey enlivens and delights the palette. Best enjoyed neat and alone on a snowy Midwestern night. Pairs well with a tall Guinness draft. #easydrinking with a good #QPR this bottle will forever be a mainstay in my personal collection. Or at least until they stop making it. — 10 years ago
Amber color that actually looks like a topaz stone. Incredible nose. Figs, dates, caramel, whisky, vanilla toast, toffee. Dry #sherry with an almost acidic sensation and lots of bitters and a never-ending finish of coffee salt and blood oranges — 11 years ago
Topaz and amber hues. Single cask bottling. Showing intensity and age via concentrated spices, toast & roasted nuts. Layers of clove, nutmeg, coffee, smoke, pepper, toffee, bitter orange peels. Long finish. #Amontillado #Sherry #Jerez #AlexanderJules — 11 years ago
Looks like viscous, golden, motor-oil. Smells like sugar frosted black coffee grounds. Tastes like light - bulb filament and buttercream. Sweet, sweet madeira how I live thee. *hiccup* This special reserve bual reminds me of a jungle cat with a topaz collar. *hiccup* Yeah that'll do.... — 11 years ago
Fuller rounder texture with some grip. Very Fino-Amontillado in style. Golden, topaz hues. Yeasty, almonds & cashews with quince and orange tree fruit, hints of dried apricot notes. Oily, earthy, overall a delicious experiment. #Fino #FinoEnRama #VintageFino #Sherry #WilliamsandHumbert #Jerez — 11 years ago
