Apr 25, 2007 2004 bottle. Clear, dark amber/copper color. Still. Aroma of sherry, raisins, molasses, wood and a whiff of alcohol. Flavor was fairly sweet, with lots of dark dried fruits, brown sugar, sherry, caramel malt with a warming alcohol finish. Definitely a slow sipping beer to be enjoyed on a cold night by a warm fire.

Oct 19, 2005 What a wild eyed beast you are. Thanks so much to the brewer who brought this. Pours a dark amber color, almost no head. Flavor is sweet honey, cherries, malt, caramel. Alcohol is VERY well masked. AWESOME!

Mar 16, 2009 This reddish mahogany beer poured with no head at all. There is an overwhelming fruity aroma. There is a very sweet malty flavor that is port-like. There is also a strong but pleasant alcohol trail at the finish. Tastes of date, chocolate and maple dominate the complex flavor. This is a good sipping beer.

Nov 2, 2007 Expensive bottle coutresy of hopscotch. Pours dark brown with some fizzy tan bubbles. Smells of sour cherries, some nuttiness and residual sugar. Tastes of creamy malt, cherries, lots of tarte qualities. Mouthfeel is thick and velvety with a nutty sugary finish. I liked this one quite a bit.

May 15, 2008 Bottle. Sampled at dark lord day luckily as i never wanted to pay the price tag. Smells so sweet, like liquid candy and ripe dark fruit. Plum rasin, and glucose is everywhere in this beer. Thickly coats your mouth with lots of fruit sugar.

Jun 8, 2009 375, 2005. Thanks, Hopscotch! One of the most complex, pleasant, and interesting beers that ever overwhelmed me with sugar. Loved it, but couldn’t finish it. My fault for opening on a hot day. Be warned. Pours a murky dark brown with bright caramel highlights. Headless, laceless, leggy, oily, sticky. Body’s super oily and sticky on the tongue. Oranges, sweet grape juice, caramel, toffee. Big thick sticky body, wow. Very sugary sweet--lots of complex flavors behind all that sugar. Could probably cellar for decades.
