Mar 17, 2009 Pours a Dark brown, with a small light tan head. Smells of sweet dark fruits, dark malts, a little candy sugar, and vanilla notes. The flavor was much of the same. I got a decent little alcohol burn throughout with the dark sweet fruits and a touch of candy sugar attempting to balance it out. A little syrupy on the palate, with a good amount of heat. Very flavorful brew. Very nice drinking quad.

Mar 15, 2009 Sample at O-town throwdown ’09
pours dark brown with beige head.
Aroma is strong with candi sugar, dark fruits.
Taste, candi sugar, dark fruits; possibly figs/prunes, chocolate malts. Overall palate is filled with the combination of malts, sugar and thickness of the fruits.
Wow that beer is just insanely good, even after a few years on it.
