Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark copper color with an extremely large, brownish head. Hints of hops with main aromas of brown sugar, molasses, and some raisins. Lively carbonation with an oily texture. Acid aftertaste is a bit strange but overall not a bad beer.

Poured a dark chestnut brown with a small tan head which dissipated quickly. Candied sugar, roasted malts, and slight alcohol notes on the nose. Tasted of raisins and figs, dark fruits, hint of bitter chocolate. Sweet at first and moving to bitter towards the end of the sip. Medium on the palate and fizzy. Delicious beer!

Nov 20, 2008 Very dark brown with a bit of a nice orange tint. Less head than expected, and fades a bit quickly. Fruity, slightly funky aroma, molasses, caramel, honey and spice. Sweet, honey and brown sugar flavor, with chocolate, licorice and dried fruits. Very sweet yet has about enough funk to balance. Interesting and original. Complex, but a bit too sweet and cloying. I like it, though.
