May 1, 2006 mesmerizing clear ruby/amber color. The smell of raisins and plums rushes out of the bottle(as well as the strong smell of alcohol). Smooth sweet taste of raisins, plums, honey, and alcohol dominate this beer. Should be aged to cut the strong alcohol finish. Thick and syrupy with high alcohol content means that this beer should be drank sloooow. Thanks for the bottle Ryan!!

Apr 26, 2006 On tap at the source, 4/15/06, with help from none other than Larry Avery: He told us it was 18% ABV. Holy crap! Strong sugary beer that’s wickedly easy to drink (dangerously so). Almost a wine-like mouthfeel. Outstanding strong ale.

Apr 20, 2006 Bottle. This beer has all of the extreme qualities that I disliked in Memphistopoles. Way too sweet w/ prunes, fruit, figs, and raisins. Amazing how much this resembles Memphistopoles. Way too sweet for me.

Apr 20, 2006 22 oz bottle, (probably batch 2) many thanks to slob for sending this! Pours hazy ruddy brown color with red tinges and little to no head. Extremely sweet aroma, brown sugar, dark fruits, a little we carcboard, alcohol and fresh pine sawdust. Flavor is more brown sugar, lots of alcohol, raisins, cranberry juice and more alcohol - this one is a bit hot and mediciney for me. Full body, little carbonation. Should have let it age a few more years...

Apr 16, 2006 Bottle (Batch 3) Scarlett color, thin light brown head. Cherry aroma. The flavor was of cherries and sugars, the Belgian yeast was apparent as well. The finish was just a touch bitter, but the mouthfeel was very sticky. A solid beer.

Apr 9, 2006 Bottle. Creamy light brown lasting head. Clear dark red body. Aroma of blackberries. A good deal of sweetness, a good deal of bitterness, large mouthfeel, you may taste the alcohol but not as unpleasant as expected because of the honey malt used I guess.

Apr 7, 2006 Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice.
