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.

Apr 22, 2008 (750ml bottle, 2007 vintage, thanks Immy) Minimal beige head atop hazy mahogany body. Aroma is moderately sweet, Bourbon/boozy, plum/raisin. Taste is sweet, boozy raisin, sour (infected?). Minimal carbonation, full body.

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.
