clear dark red, fine beige head, rich dark caramel aroma, sweet fruity character, hint of toffee, spicy dark caramel flavor, drier than the aroma would indicate, touch of chocolate, nice spicy character, good fruit character but needs the sweetness to make it fully ripen,

Jun 15, 2009 Bottle sampled in Feb 2008: Pours a transparent copper amber with a wispy lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and raisin fruitiness with some bready doughy yeastiness. Starts with some sweet caramel and doughy Belgian yeast toward an airy mildly bittersweet finish. A pretty decent winter warmer.

May 29, 2007 This has a dark mahogany body with a slender beige head that soon redeuces to a halo. The aroma is sweet with raisins, malt, and brown sugar. The raisins seems a bit burnt in the flavor and the alcohol makes its presence known. A nice warming ale. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Sep 21, 2007 Chestnut color with a hint of umber when held to the light. Small lid of light tan bubbles. Lots of malt in the nose. Aromas of toasted grainy bread, with raisins, prunes and bananas. Some higher alcohols also seem to be in the scent. Syrupy malty flavors, somewhat akin to buckwheat pancakes with a light fruity syrup. Hints of the yeast shift in and out. Alcohol and lightly roasted malt come in the finish and linger. Reminds me of a cross between a dubbel and a doppelsticke. Thanks Pitonka.

Feb 7, 2008 Bottle: Dark mahogany color, light head and lacing. Nose of vanilla and sugar, jaggery and maple with light alcohol. Subtle raisin. Thin boozy flavor, some melanoidins but they’re all color, no body. Decent, lame finish. Hmmm.

Jan 25, 2008 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured a hazy brown with an average frothy light brown head that was mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy malt, dark fruit aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture. Full balanced fruity bittersweet flavor with the same long finish with a very small alcohol tone. Good well balanced brew.
