Vary hazy pour, the color of caramel. Strong aroma. The taste is predominately malty, with a fruity tangerine in the background.

Aug 4, 2008 Ruby-brown pour with a tall off-white head that fades to a thin ring. Lots of caramel and dark fruit aroma with a healthy dose of citrus and alcohol. Lots of fig and plum notes interlaced with a quite a bit of citrus hops for a quad. A few hints of spice pop out here and there. The alcohol is definitely evident. Oily medium-full body with lots of carbonation and a definite alcohol warming.

Jul 27, 2008 75cl corked bottle. Pours a murky bronze colour with no real head. Big aroma of brandied fruit, yeast, banana, spice and alcohol. Nice flavour of more dark fruit, caramel malt and it finishes with alcohol warmth. Not a heavy hitting quad which makes it easy drinking and something you could enjoy more than every now and again.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown color with a thin off white head that settles to nice film. The aroma shows notes of dark fruit, caramel malts, plums, raisins, and a hint of some hops. The flavor is big and complex of plums, raisins, caramel and other dark malts. The hops try to come through, but are pushed aside by all the malts and alcohol. Medium bodied with near perfect carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. This one was nice and complex with all the flavors and a sweet, warming finish. A nice easy drinking quad that I will definitely get again.

Pours light brown with a thick slightly off white head. The head has the thickness of well beaten eggs. Tremendous legs but disappears quickly.
Smells of apricots and spices. Touch of alcohol as well.
My first thought is complex. It took a second tip to get my head around it. Carmel and maple syrup hit me first then malt and citrus. Warming alcohol at the end.
The carbonation is just right with a thick pour over the tongue.
A little sweeter than I would have liked, but very complex and interesting.

Jul 17, 2008 On cask @ Pizza Plant Walker. Pours amber brownish color. Aroma consists of malty sweetness, caramel, sugar, dried fruits particularly raisins & booze. Pretty complex taste of dried fruits, caramel malts, raisins & boozy warmth. Nice fuller mouthfeel. Good beer
