25.4 oz. bottle. Almost exploded out of the bottle. Pours a thin rapidly dissipating head, over a cloudy body with loads of floating floculated yeasts....nose is malty yeasty, phenolic with licorice, hints figs, cherries, raisins and several spices drifting through....taste is malt, cloves, cardomom. cherry, with a sweet finish. Mouthfeel is chewy, solid. The floating yeasts reminded me of the appearance of partially treated sewage. 11/14/2008

Wax tightened 1.5 l. bottle. Cloudy reddish brown colour with a creamy beige head. Aroma is spicy with lots of ripe fruit like prunes. Lots of malts and just a slight alcohol. Creamy body with the ability of make small explosions in your mouth underlining all the tasting notes which is nuts, chocolate, raisins, caramel, spices and dark sugar. Great brew!

bottle, medium brown cloudy pour with a slight foam tan head, sour , funky, nose, flavor is sour, caramel, and dark fruits, finish is sweet and nutty

Somewhat opaque reddish-bronze, lots of sediment, and a nice, long-lasting foamy yellow-white head. The nose is very yeasty with copious almond, dark fruit and figs, orange, and pepper. Flavor is yeasty and sweet with some dusty malt and woody pear. Palate is large but a little fizzy which seems overbearing given the already aggressive pepper and yeast in the beer, but this is still a good one.

33 cl, bb 14/02/2011. Opaque, dark copper-brown with a gushing head that settles to a lasting half-inch of creamy cappuccino-like foam. Aromas of nutmeg, brown sugar, dates, plums, cinnamon and bread pudding. Flavor is all the same, plus some caramel, wheat, apple, chocolate, oak, light citrus and rum. Medium-heavy body is smooth and amazingly well-dried for all the big malt flavors.
