Nov 28, 2008 Pours a pretty dark but clear reddish orange with a small beige froth. Very fruity nose, raisins, red grapes, malty, spicy, lightly grainy, grenadine? Tasty! not too sweet, smooth with just enough grassinesss to make it interesting. Lightly rich chewy caramel, butterscotch, light raisin and cinnamon. Smooth medium body with fantastic fine carbonation that isn’t abrasive.

Nov 27, 2008 12oz bottle..... pours a mostly transparent amber brown with light beige swirls throughout from a head perspective.... sweet candied sugary fumes make their way out of the glass that almost resembles a darf fruit liqueur of sorts.....flavors generally follow suit but less sweet from what the aroma implied dry, somewhat boozy finish.

Nov 19, 2008 <b>In short: </b>a well-rounded “session” doublebock.
<b>How: </b>Bottle 12oz, age unknown, from HogtownHarry, thanks a lot Harry
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy orangey brown body topped by a very small beige head
<b>In long: </b>Nose of dates, toffee and some fresh cigars. Interesting blend of fruity flavours (mainly figs, dark grapes and red berries), earthy tree roots, pecans and thick caramel. Overall feeling of a big fruity brown cake. Leafy hops with a tobacco leaves character are perfectly fitting. A bit sweet but somehow fitting. As the beer warmed up red fruits and tropical fruits started coming through. Tasty, round, refreshing (rare for the style) and highly drinkable, a beer to get drunk on. Whether a beer or catholic priests, Consecrators should be kept away from children.

Oct 31, 2008 A very copper/red pour with light white head and lace. Aroma of malt and brown sugar. A caramel malt flavor that borders on being sweet a very nice warmth. Carbonation and mouthfeel very solid. A beer I’ve had often and thought that I had rated now I have. A very nice DB.

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a translucent reddish brown with beige head. Nice sweet malty toasted caramel aroma. Flavor is very toasted malt like with nice molasses, light dark roast. Medium body with med-high carbonation. Overall it was pretty damned good.
