Overall Impression: Solid tasting beer, hides the alcohol well, and has a solid blend of flavors. I definitely like the name too, as I always enjoy a bad pun.

Mar 25, 2009 Thanks to MrBunn for the bottle. Somewhat dark reddish pour with minimal head. Dark fruit and light malt dominate the smell. Rather cloying flavor with notes of rye and malt with a bitter coffee, fruit rind funk at the end that I can do without.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle. Rather mild ripe fruit aroma. Deep red body, very small head. Flavor is mild, fruity, a bit too sweet. Ultimately, not that interesting.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle Pours a dark brown with a small white head which leaves quickly. Has a fruity sweet malt aroma. Has a light carbination with a good mouthfeel. Texture is dry. Fairly well blended but still has a good alcohol presence. A good finish and has a nice bite to it. Has a full body. A good drinking beer.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a dark brown color with amber hues and subtle lacing. The nose is fruity and malty with a hint of yeast soapiness. Same flavors with additional notes of cola, apples, and subtle vinous fruits. Medium carbonation and full body. A better effort than usual by this brewery.

Mar 11, 2009 A mahogany pour with almost no head despite a brisk pouring into a Chimay glass. Nose is sweet caramel with yeast and a bit of funkiness. Flavor has a good amount of dark fruit with caramel, rye, and alcohol. The alcohol provides some warming, as well. A dark fruit (plum?) aftertaste. A decent brew.

Mar 7, 2009 Medium brown with an orange copper rust color at the edges. A thin, light khaki head sits on top. The nose has some rich bubblegum and caramel. There is also some strange black cherry. The taste has some rich toffee and black tea. There is also some light roast in the finish with some banana peels and tobacco. Overall, this is a heavy handed and thick brew. If you want something that I would call an imperial dubbel, go for it.
