May 4, 2007 Dark ruby in colour, average sized beige head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, caramel, light spice, dark fruits, some molasses. The flavour is quite malty, some noticable alcohol, earthy, wheaty, dark fruits. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, again some alcohol, mild sweetness. Not nearly as over the top as some of the other Avery beers, this one actually has some balance and is drinkable. Not bad.

Oct 9, 2006 Nice dark amber color,small tan head that had a good hang time then faded to leave a little behind.The aroma was malty with a nice roasty side some dried fruit maybe and a bit of chocolate possibly.The flavor was very nice with a nice roasty malty taste mildly sweet in the beginning with a good mild fruit and caramel taste coming on as well as a nice roasty side in the middle.The alcohol manages to stay pretty well hidden with just a hint in the tail end.Very nicely done brew and well worth having a few more which i’m glad i do.

Jul 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with a fizzy beige dome. Toasted malt, dark fruits and coffee dominate the nose while the finish is slightly bitter and tingles the palate.

Sep 13, 2006 bottle-deep amber almost brown with a small kacki head that left unoticed. big dark fruit, banana ester, very sweet nose but not overly for this style. some nice red grape notes as well. some light coca in there in the background. lots of esters on the flavor with the aformentioned dark fruit (pears, plums and some fig-esque notes). body is kind of thin for the abv but had a good mouthfeal to make up for it. carbonation is pleasant and distributes the complex fruity flavors well. I dig it as one of the better avery beers.

Jul 22, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown with a thin, but long-lasting, linen white head. Pleasant aroma of toffee, caramel, a bit of chocolate, and raisins. Flavor is on the sweet side with plenty of toffee, caramel and malt along with some light chocolate and raisins. The smooth. almost silky mouthfeel is interupted by a strong alcohol burn. If the alcohol burn were toned down a bit, I would have liked this even better, but still very good as it is.
