| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby chestnut color with a large tan head. The aroma was sweet, fruity, caramel and molasses. The flavor was sweet caramel, ripe fruits - cherry mostly, molasses and port wine. Very complex. Wonderfully thick and sweet. The alcohol did show through a noticeable amount. I liked this one. My wife thought it was a total beergasm and wanted to give it a perfect rating. Pailhead (2597), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 20, 2004 Bottle: Strong butter toffee and caramel aroma. Nice addition of banana bread to the nose. Pours a transparent reddish-brown with an off-white head with a yellow tint. Fair retention. Very sweet and malty. Has a little extra sweet barley wine flavor to it. Raisin, caramel, toffee, and banana bread. Light bitterness in the finish. Kind of a sweet, sticky, banana bread aftertaste. Alcohol is noticeable in the finish, but not overbearing. Has a warming effect. A little sticy and syruppy. Really like this one. Quetzalcoatl (153), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 10, 2004 22 poured into snifter. This is a good looking beer: beautiful deep red with a thin tan head. The nose is full o’ malt, fruit and alcohol. Taste is a kick in the mouth. Rich dark fruits, molasses is very present as well. This hangs around on the tongue for a while too, after a few sips my mouth feels coated. Very enjoyable if you like big rich heavy brews. This would be perfect on a cold winter night, too bad it’s July. csbosox (1082), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA

Plummy, alcohol aroma, also some turbinado sugar, vanilla, and raisins. Taste is caramel, apple cider, turbinado sugar, and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. I think this is a rather enjoyable beer, though one I would only want to have at the end of the night. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 20, 2007 BIG beer. This is from a 2005 bottle at the Bodega Brew Pub, downtown La Crosse, Wis. USA. Not much in the head/lace department. But the aroma is jam packed full of dark ripe fruit: blackberry, plum, fig, dates, raisins; flavors are all a that but accented. Pleasant clean finish. Color is deep reddish brown slight head, minimal lace. radagast83 (1310), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

I wasn’t sure what to expect with it being 14.6%. Surprisingly even with the alcohol presence, this beer was extremely smooth and had a wonderful sweet flavor to it as it warmed. wheninhell (486), louisville, Kentucky, USA
