Bottle from BOE 30-09-07 Poured mid-brown with a tan head. Aroma was bursting with fruits and nuts, plus some roasty malts. Tasted of the aforementioned fruits and nuts with a big ol’ pinch of nutmeg thrown into this sticky, sweet, spicy brew. I rather liked this and consider it a fine beer but I’m a little surprised at how highly it’s rated, maybe I should get another and try it again.

Aug 29, 2008 Dark brown with a lot of visible sediment and a large, but quickly diminishing head. The ale goes down very smooth, with a plethora of taste on the palate. There is a bit of smoky malts and caramel. This is mixed with a prunish accent and a sugary alcohol in the background. The aftertaste lingers. Very good.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours an orange brown with fizzy head and risidual sediment. Aroma holds apple cider, some raisin, plum, and yeast. Flavor has brown sugar, molasses, malt, and dried apricots. Tingly mouthfeel with sweetness and a dry finish. Very impressive shift between aroma and flavor. Very nice brew.

Aug 18, 2008 750ml bottle shared with Lee. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet candy and malt, unbelievable that this has no sugar added to it. Sweet malt candy taste with hints of fruit. Very smooth and tasty, finishes clean and gives no hint to its strength. Very good.
