Sep 12, 2007 Bought this to celebrate passing the CFP(r) Board Examination. Pours out a deep reddish brown color with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet with notes of malt and fruit. Flavor is very sweet and malty at first but soon is taken over by the fruit and hops. This is a fantastic brew. AleSmith did not let me down with this jewel.

Sep 10, 2007 3rd LCRBM. Aroma has hops, yeast, fruits and malts. Hazy, orange-brown coloured with an off-white, thin head. Taste is sweet with a nice bitterness. It has fruits, hops, and caramel malts. Thick mouthfeel. Nice.

Sep 10, 2007 Dark red-brown, hazy; no head left but small coloured rim. Very vinous, higher alcohols, fruity esters and smells of fruits on brandy. C-hops taste, sweet cognac, dried, chocolate-drenched raisins, as from a -yes - decadent childrens’ fondue. Unfortunately the hops make the end quite wry. Very well-bodied, alcoholwarming. Nice, terribly powerful beer, vinous as none. Pity about the raw finish.
