ajwilliams (118), , Indiana, USA Dec 14, 2008 Great looking pour as a clear, dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma of raisins, dark fruit, roasted malt, some alcohol. Taste is top notch, with the roasted malt, brown sugar, and overripe fruit competing with the nice balance of hops and raisins. Absolutely fantastic beer that I enjoy every time. The bottle itself is worth the money. And you get to keep the little sheep necklace. troopie (848), USA Dec 8, 2008 Bottle. Poured almost black with a thick lasting head. Aroma of malt, caramel, coffee and toffee. Rich full malt flavour, with coffee and chocolate notes. Lasting finish, malt, a bit of hop. Stronger than it tastes barleynhops (82), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Dec 6, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep brown with thick tan head. Smelled like roasted coffe and dark malts. Tastes of slight hops, but includes a rich chocolate disquise which masks the alcohol. Very much enjoyed. 1010 (206), Marysville, Ohio, USA Dec 6, 2008 Pours a deep black with a tan head

It truly is an amazing beer, Hats Off. mikalooch (158), , New Jersey, USA Dec 1, 2008 Pours deep dark red with a tan head, medium sized. Aroma of wheat, malt, and cherry and other red fruits. Lots going on in this one, malt, raisin, plum, clove. Starts off sweet and ends up slightly sour. Just the right amount of carbonation. Absolutely amazing beer. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Nov 30, 2008 Pours a very dark red with a mocha coloured head that has a mix of smaller and bigger bubbles. Aroma is of chocolate, raisins, plums, and spice. Taste is of chocolate, figs, raisins, spice. Really nice taste. poolboy (66), Lafayette, Indiana, USA Nov 29, 2008 Deep brown with tan head. Very complex. Cherry, malt, chocolate, toffee. Some taste of hops, but smooth. Long aftertaste. Smells like a bakery.
