Copper coloured. Some first impression reminded me of cognac. After that the beer got more bready and sweeter. Through the beer alcohol is noticable and adds a warming sensation. An interesting dessert beer, with a very vinous character. BDR (2160), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

I could do with less sweetness, bu this will do. A little oak with the usual suspects. Not bad but probably better in a few years. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Luscious citrus, toffee and vanilla aroma. Full body, no carbonation. Incredibly sweet taste of citrus, apple, grape, caramel and wood. Seems to be way under-attenuated and unbalanced.
