| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 18, 2007 750mL, no date. Pours a clear deep ruby with a three finger creamy beige head in my Piraat tulip. Excellent retention. Aroma of candied plums and juicy raisins, yeast, brown sugar, slightly musty, and some light cinnamon or nutmeg. Flavor is more musty and not as sweet up front as I was esxpecting. Spicy alcohol and some tangy fruitiness show up as well as some fall leaves. Lightly sweet roasty finish. Overall, the alcohol is masked well. Moderate to high carbonation with a full body. Very good beer--nice and complex. GreatLibations (1447), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
