Nov 1, 2008 Bottle, pours deep amber with a nice tall beige head, looks great. Aroma is of alcohol and spices. I also get a little bit of fruit in the nose. Smells like it’s going to be good!! First sip, wow, dark candied sugar, a little bit of sweetness and a dry bitter finish. The mouth fades from light and crisp to slightly creamy. A few more and I’m liking this, the 9 percent is masked well behind some wonderfull dark flavors. I’m glad this time of year is here because these kind of beers are special.

Red-brownish, hazy body. Brownish, creamy head, mostly lasting. Malty (caramel) aroma. Lightly bitter, moderately sweet initial flavour. Lightly bitter long-lasting finish. Medium to fully bodied. Oily texture, average carbonation. Astringent finish.

Nov 28, 2007 Deep chestnut pour slicked with yellowish suds. Big brandyish nose swilling with dark fruit, caramel and toffeeapple-ish esters. A physical chew of grapeskin, handfuls of sticky prune and currant. Loaded with liquorice and brandy-dipped barley wine-like cake and malt loaf flavours. Slightly out of date, and better for it. Sweetish, malt-heavy, sustaining winter sipper drinking like a reinforced, pumped-up, turbo-charged mild. Tasty.
