Big malty sweet n spicy fruity aromas. Wonder bread malty flavors with sweet pit fruits, spicy caramel, tough to spot the 21%abv here. Gotta try this heated sometime.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Hazy amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma is spicy hops and caramel. Sweet caramel flavor is incredibly strong, stronger than the citrus hop by far. Quite pungent. Not as hot as expected for 21 percent. harrisoni (6946), Ashford, Kent, England

The look is clear, copper amber in color with not much of its off white head. The smell is alcohol, dark fruits, caramel, lots going on. Really strong alcohol in the taste but maybe not 22%, sweet, syrupy, thick feel. Caramel and fruits. Swalden28 (1531), McKinney, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2009 This one courtesy of ericandersnavy. Thanks man! Pours clear reddish copper with a slight beige head. The nose is big on malt and fruit. Sort of red berry. No heat issue. Full bodied with mildly frothy carbonation. Flavors are like plum, berry, honey, spice, malt, and I bet I could imagine more. It’s fairly complex. Heat is barely detectable. Rather like a not so sweet mead.
