An old body from my cellar. No head with this beer, a dark and murky body. Aroma is sweet, raisins with caramel and some light honey. A great tawny taste, soaked fruits with a nice chocolate liquor accent. Smooth ending with a very nice small alcohol burn in the end. GREAT!

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle (6oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, via trade with irishboy. Cloudy, flat-looking muddy red-brown pour - looks great! Damn that smells good - raisin, brazil nut oil, brandy, lush grain, slightly sour dry oak resin - terrific: sophisticated, smooth, balanced. The taste follows - seems a little simpler, and a touch more tartness, but wood resin, sultanas & nutty roast malt - after a bit more fruit emerges - tart cherry for sure. Thick body, medium-acidic and somewhat still mouthfeel, almost creamy-slick ...... amazing stuff - like a well-aged fruity Thomas Hardy’s. Thanks, Richard!

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey. Big boozy nose with dark fruit and molasses notes. Poured a murky brown color. Full bodied, sweet, and fruity with plenty of warm alcohol and low carbonation. Fruity and boozy with distinct brandy and dark fruit flavors. Just oooozing with booooze.
