Sweet dark fruits, candi sugar and some alcohol in aroma. Flavor is sweet dark fruits, plums, raisins, candi sugar and some alcohol. Smooth, warming palate.

Cork and cage - deep mahogany pour with a creamy off white head. This beer is pretty much just a malt bomb. Candi sugar, toffee, caramel, prunes, port. Dried dark fruit flavor - raisins prunes. A moment of grapefruit, abrupt bitter finish.

Really nice pour, dark brown with a nice bit of lace. Fruity, with sherry-like nice dryness that sets nicely as a contrast to the molasses malt sweetness.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy well carbonated dark nut brown, with a large firm tan fantastic head. Nose is sweet with dark fruit, plum and blackberry, and just a hint of alcohol. Taste is spicy- like an Orval. Sweet with a roast coffeeish taste and a bitter finish that lingers. Dry. Certainly complex

330ml bottle. Pours reddish brown in color with brown head. Aroma sweet, fruity and malty. Taste roasted malt, raisin and dry with dry finish.
