(This year is 12.5% ABV) Opaque, murky dark brown with beige head. Aroma is caramel, vanilla, raisin, some alcohol (port). Taste is fairly sweet, brown sugar, raisin/date, caramel. Creamy medium body, minimal carbonation, alcohol exceptionally well hidden. Aroma opens up as it warms, but the alcohol presence grows then as well.

One of the best efforts yet fom this Maryland brewpub. Cloudy dark copper, tan head. Lots of fuzzy fruit, maple candy, toffee, and a even a bit of port for good measure. Rich, full bodied and sweet, but not cloying by any means. Won't see it again until next winter, but I think it should be on tap all year. Great stuff.

This beer rocks! Hazy, copper lager with a small, creamy, off-white head. Malty and fruity aroma. Apricot, maple syrup, sweet sherry and orange blossom honey. The flavor mirrors the aroma and both conceal the hight ABV relatively well. The alcohol and hops balance the beer out fairly well, but it IS a triple bock, so, yep, it's sweet. Full-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, fruity, bitter-sweet finish. World class stuff!

Murky, dark amber appearance. Subdued aroma, with some fruit. Caramel malt and dark fruit dominate the taste with very little of a hop presence. Rich, full-bodied flavor with a smooth, strong alcohol finish.

Not at all what I expected from the name but very enjoyable. The beer was translucent which I did not expect. It had a nice malty aroma filled with chocolate and dark fruit. The flavor was strong but very smooth, and very drinkable. It was medium to full bodied, enough body to be satisfying but not so much that it got syrupy like some dopplebocks. A very nice beer.
