Mar 22, 2008 Golden-brown colour. Big nose - wood, deep chewy and dark sugary malts. Fruits are slightly caramelized. The body is a little to the soft side, sugary, with a light alcohol finish. Burnt fruits come in...a little simple for a beer this size, IMO.

Feb 6, 2008 (750ml bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a spare beige ring of bubbles atop. Aroma of caramel, grapes, chocolate, and vinous. Flavor of red wine, prunes, chocolate, caramel, fig, and oak. Certainly could use some carbonation.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle thanks to kyzr: Pours a viscous faintly carbonated murky mahogany with some thin, off-white bubbles. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malts and some vinous oaky notes. Body starts with decent fullness, but not much carbonation, and a light toasty malty sweetness with big, almost overwhelming vinous character, and some slightly acidic cherry notes. Pretty interesting, but could use some more sweetness for balance.

May 9, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of Jonpol. Pours amber/copper with a thin sparse off white foam. Smells of sugar, some tarte cherries, dark fruit, some earthy character. Tastes nutty with some tartness and lots of sweet malt. No alcohol burn to speak of. This could use some more balance, but its otherwise an enjoyable beer.
