Dark ruby tinged brown body with a creamy light beige head (3+). Sweet malt, mild alcohol and muted brown sugar in the aroma. Sweet up front, with deliciously complex yet subtle malt throughout. Dry sort of bite to it in the finish. Delicious beer defies my attempts at more in depth analysis. Creamy medium to full bodied palate. Please sir, can I have some more?<P>

Aug 9, 2008 This beer had a nice aroma with a large head forming in the tulip glass. It is hearty and flavorful, with a mix of dark fruit flavors. Very smooth and complex with a long-lingering aftertaste.

Aug 5, 2008 Pours a nice dark brown to ruby with almost no head, but some good carbonation. Big strong ale with a huge fruit aroma. Like toffee cherries and raisins mixed into a can of malt or something. Huge nose on this.
Flavor is more of the same with a lot of nice undertones, caramel, dark fruit, cherries. All of this and it’s not overly sweet which is very nice. This skates a thin line very well.

Jul 29, 2008 Hazy brown pour with a creamy tan head. Smells of raisin, brown sugar, dried dates, and doughy yeast. Complex fruity flavor with notes of caramel, brown sugar, allspice, and biscuit. Prickly feeling carbonation helps remove the slightly cloying finish. Slightly warming as well. Damn good.

Jul 28, 2008 Luckily for me, the bar right down the street from my house has this on tap. And it’s only $4. That being said: Muddy brown pour with a generous amount of tan frothy head. Aroma is sweet malts, candi sugar. Mouthfeel is effervescent and very clean. Malty and sweet, there are notes of cherry and toasted caramel. Bit of a warm finish that does not distract from flavor. Very elegant beer.
