Sep 11, 2009 Dark reddish colour with a small tan head. Malty and sweet aroma with hints of fruit. Very strong in alcohol which overpowers the taste of yeast and a malty fruit sweetness. Nice Winter Beer.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottle, about 12deg. Dark ruby brown, big frothy head. Great mix of aromas; nuts, dark fruits, a little dusty oak cupboard too. wierd. Pleasantly dry, like a decent sherry, with a nice lingering bitterness.

Aug 31, 2009 0.33L bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Deep reddish-brown with a fair reddish-tan head.
Aroma: Very sweet and rich, lots of dark dried fruits, slightly minty molasses and treacle, a little woody and vinous, slightly nutty, a little alcohol, so warm and inviting.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly soft effervescence.
Flav.: Just as rich and wonderful as the nose, lots of dark dried fruits, plenty of brown sugar and treacle, some molasses and slightly minty herbals, a touch of wood and nuttiness; sweet but balanced with a bit of warming alcohol, nuttiness and fruitiness to finish.
A beautiful sipper.

Aug 30, 2009 Strong copper smell. Deep brown colour with brownish white, lasting head. Tastes sweet and fruity with chocolate notes. Tastes as strong as it is Ƙ.5%) but this bizarrely adds to the taste. Very well balanced. One of the best strong beers I’ve ever had really.
