Dec 4, 2007 I opened this when I thought New England was finally going to lose a game last night. But they pulled it out again. I had cellared this one since spring and I think it helped mellow the beer. Pours dark black/brown with a frothy tan head. It has a sweet malty aroma and flavor. Palate is medium/light, a bit of sharp carbonation, and lightly sweet. Fairly balanced light flavor with a mild bitter hops bite at the end..

Nov 3, 2007 Creamy medium lasting light brown head. Dark brown, almost black colour. Aroma is malty with roasty, coffe and nuts notes. Flavor is malty too with a strong roasty accent and a chocolate beginning then candy tones, ending in a initially malty (dark fruits) and then balanced, slightly roasty finish. Light to medium bodied.

Oct 17, 2007 This beer had that weird marshmellowy aroma and taste that I have found in a few beers during my beer drinking adventures. Another one that had it that stands out the most is alesmiths ipa. Anyways pour was a dark brown almost black color with huge foamy off white head. Aroma was great, caramel, malts, dark fruits, raisins, big roastiness. Flavor was similar but the marshmellow thing was too potent, as I’ve stated before its not a bad trait, just weird for a beer. The caramel flavor mixed extremely well with the figgy raisin taste.

Oct 11, 2007 From the cryptic bottling code on back, I believe this was packaged in December, 2006. Pours a deep black with a solid, one-finger tan head. Caramel and raisins, sweet chocolate and plums rise from the tulip. Very nice and complex aroma for a fairly small beer. The body is medium with chewy carbonation. It explodes with bittersweet chocolate, fudge, raisans, bourbony plums, chocolate-covered cherries, the list goes on. This one really surprised me. Great stuff.
