22oz. bottle. Malty, bready, sweet, fruity and lightly doughy aroma, some brown sugar and faint raisin, overall nose is pretty slight, though. Clear deep red-brown color with an off-white, fine, subsiding head. Lightly bitter and spicy to start, turning much sweeter and maltier before the fruity, drying, yeast-infused finish, features some lingering banana, cocoa and faint tartness. Mouthfeel is smooth, lightly warming and low in effervescence, body is medium-full. Relatively high in alcohol content for the style, but not correspondingly rich in flavor.

Smells tinny and slightly fishy, like a sardine tin (unappealing). Looks pretty, bits of ruby red when the light catches it. Tastes sweet and a little spicy with a lot of soft carbonation. Decent double but the smell bothers me.

slightly fruity, with a light malty presence with lots of character. the palate is thin but gives a sweet caramel that has some great flavor.

The aroma is close to the style with sweet brown sugar, yeast, and dark fruits. The appearance is red brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma with a touch of spice. The palate is average for the style. Overall it’s nice but nothing special.

Bottle from Brother Tuckers. Dark brown pour, very small head. Aromas of brown sugar, dark frutis, malt and maybe a hint of spice. Flavor is fruity, toffee, yeast and some spice. Not bad, not amazing.

Mahogany with a fairly thick cream head that dissipates quite quickly leaving no lacing. Malty, sugary smell, not very complex. Very sweet on first taste with a very slight bitter finish. Doesn’t have enough hops to balance the sweet.

Pours a dark nearly-black ruby with no head and a sweet, fruity (cherry) aroma. Flat an uninteresting fruity malt taste, some spice, nothing remarkable. Mild carbonation, thin body. Meh.
