Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours deep brownish amber, with a thin, quickly diminishing tan head. Aroma of figs, raisins, plums, and hints of chocolate, toffee, bread, and malts. Smooth, creamy moutfeel with a nice warming in the finish. Overall, an outstanding strong ale, which could very well be considered a stout.

Nov 3, 2009 Sweet and spicy aroma that reminds me of carrot cake, molasses, and vanilla. Tastes better than it smells, including notes of: birch, sassafras, and espresso. Heavy body, and a pleasantly smooth aftertaste. Slight warming, and notes of alcohol present throughout.

Nov 2, 2009 almost opaque. tan head. smells of malt, milk chocolate, heavy cream. Flavor is more sweet milk chocolate, cream, pruney, with a little cherry and a wet wood really showing at the end in a strong way. Huge body with a creamy fizz. Very compelling but somewhat sludge-y.

Oct 31, 2009 Opaque brown with a clingy head. Woody, fruity tastes in a big thick body. Currant and dark raisins emerge, particularly as the glass warms. Alcohol a-go-go. Big and sophisticated brew. Excellent.
