Jun 21, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Reddish amber w/ almost no head. Banana esters and rotten produce in the aroma. Taste is the same, with thankfully less rot. Alcohol warmth. Slightly off balance.

Jun 20, 2008 Big bottle. Clear copper colour with a perfect medium head that settles with good lacing. Aroma of caramel, malt and some sugar. Pleasant flavour with a nice warming finish. Would be great on a cold night. Not something that knocks your socks off but definitely pleasant.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. Warm caramel color with thin off-white head. High carbonation at pour. Licorice and caramel dominated aroma. Maltiness, sugars, and licorice predominate flavors. Not one of my favorites.

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber pour. Little head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits, malt and belgian yeasts. Flavor similar, along with spice and alcohol. Very smooth texture.

Jun 11, 2008 The beer is a red amber with a thin white head. The nose is big, I can smell it 2 ft. away. The nose is a mix of sweet malts, hops, spice, caramel and toasted nuts. The mouth feel is slightly thick with a nice round feel. The taste somewhat follows the nose but it finish with a somewhat unpleasant funk, almost fishy.

Jun 10, 2008 pours nice copper color with small white head. carmel, dark fruit, molasses, malt in the nose. flavor is very dry, alcohol warmth, yeasty. some sort of subtle spice in there that i don’t dig too much, but not bad overall.

Jun 6, 2008 22oz bottle, foolishly purchased. Pours a bright, clear ruby-orange color; light-tan head with glistening fine-bubbled lacing. Stale malts, chewy dried fruits, and boozy leather in the aroma; highly alcoholic for the amount of aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: sticky candy sugar, cardboard, and chewy, ridiculously sticky maltiness; unbalanced and just remarkably sweet without much character or malty complexity. Very, very disappointing, though I should know better. Lengthy, sticky finish: cardboard, chewy malts, cereal, and basic sugar. Not very good at all.

Jun 6, 2008 22oz. bottle: This one pours a slightly ruby tinged amber color. There was a very small off white head that disappeared almost immediately. There is some alcohol to the nose. Also notes of spices, caramel, and some fruits. It is very flavorful. There are many. Caramel, a hint of spices, maybe cherries. Nice.
