Dec 13, 2007 14.9% Clear copper with a tan head. Strong smell of sweet ripe plums, dates and figs. Heavy body with sugary sweet flavors same as the smell. Finishes with a strong alcohol punch. Too much sugar and alcohol here. 03/07/2006

Dec 11, 2007 Wow! The aroma is of strong malt and very fruity, almost leathery. Nice appearance. Flavor is like a brandy, very complex. What an amazing beer.

Dec 11, 2007 Updated: Sep 2, 2008Pours a beautiful amber- mahogany tone with almost no head. Nose is sweet with syrupy sugar and fruity. Flavor is like a punch in the face Sweet from malt and sugar, and the kick of a 50% shot. Very complex with different malts and a bit of an earthy touch. Really incredible beer that burns for a while. This one really lives up to its name.

Dec 10, 2007 Updated: Dec 23, 2007Pours a dark amber color with a thin diminishing white head. Aroma is dark tart fruit, raisins, and bourbon. Taste is carbonated and syrupy sweet with a strong sense of alcohol. I find the taste all over the place and unbalanced, and too syrup-like. Too strong for my tastes. I think I just dislike much of this style. Couldn’t even finish it. Blech.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle. Clear reddish brown colour with mostly diminishing light brown head. Aroma offers molasses, raisins, cane sugar and alcohol. Powerfull flavor of sweet malt and glycerin. Runs oily on the palate. Is this really beer, or is it simply a blend of Pedro Ximenes sherry and brandy...?! Good stuff though.

Dec 3, 2007 12 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Cherry amber color with a small light tan head. Aroma is fruity with cherries and a wiff of brandy. Flavor starts rich and sweet with dark fruit, black cherry and raisin followed by some plum a spicy bitterness, alcohol and a rather sweet finish. Full bodied, rich and smooth with soft carbonation.

Nov 29, 2007 Batch 3 2005. Somewhere around 2 or 3 years old. Pours a nice mahogoney brown color. Small peach colored soapy head that is gone quickly.Smells of bread and sourness. Tastes like pure belgian candy sugar. I get notes of honey, fruit, wheat, and molasses. A bit too sugary for my liking but a great after dinner beer.
