Aug 9, 2009 (bottle - 500 ml) Rich copper pour with a thick off-white head. Aroma if full and fruity with hints of raisins, plums, spices, and some cinnamon bread. Flavor is dark and spicy at the beginning with a serious malt bite as soon as you drink it. A hoppy bitterness comes at you in the middle with hints of plums and yeast. Finishes bitter and lightly spicy. Very smooth with a lingering finish. Quite nice.

Aug 6, 2009 Clear brown to orange, thick pillowy beige head. Earthy aromas of dark fruit, hearty bread and a malt sweetness. Light toasted malt flavor gives way to a gentle caramel and floral hops. Perfectly balanced by a crisp, spicy bite. Finish battles between a malt and hops.

Aug 1, 2009 500ml bottle. Rich, malty aroma. Mahogany with off-white long-lasting head. Flavour is burnt caramel with hints of spiciness. Very malty palate with hoppy bitterness. Finishes with rather astringent hoppiness. Very enjoyable beer, miles away from the bland macrobrewery slops.
