Very glad this has finally shown up in the area and I didn’t miss it this time around. Very deep, slightly murky brown, creamy rich head that lasted an amazingly long time, highly attractive. Big aroma, a blend of rich chocolate with a vinous character, a hint of dark fruits, and some alcohol. Enticing, I sniffed at this for a long time before even taking the first sip. Flavor is initially vinous, followed by a solid note of vanilla that moves into chocolate flavors. Hint of dried plum on the finish. Warming alcohol, but not at all hot. Exceptionally well done, probably my favorite brew from DFH in some time. Thoroughly enjoyed this experiment.

Oct 12, 2008 Pretty unique and enjoyable. Taste is completely sweet malts, mainly plum taste. Wine and wood flavor in the background. A little too sweet. Very full bodied and heavy beer. Light taste of alcohol in the finish. Very creamy and almost no carbonation.

Oct 10, 2008 Pours black with a ruby veneer and a shiny brown head that quickly dissapates. Reeks of bubble gum and tastes of velvety malts, lacquered wood, alcohol, raisins, and lime. Deliciously strange.

Oct 10, 2008 GBBF, Trade Day, 2008 Gravity cask. 3rd beer. My first three beers of GBBF 2008 were all very tasty, and with a few exceptions, were really the beers I enjoyed the most. This was rich and smooth with an awareness of alcohol, but not aggressive. A lovely beer.
