smith4498 (342), Miami, Florida, USA Apr 24, 2008 Pours dark copper with off white head. Aromas of bread dough, caramel, brown sugar and dark fruits. Flavors are same as aromas. Medium to full body with prickly carbonation, creamy mouthfeel and slight warmth of alcohol. An excellent brew from one of my favorite breweries.

Held up well being cellared. Great tasting complex beer. dkachur (781), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Aug 21, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville dated 03/08/10. Hazy reddish brown with a big head. Moderate retention and low lacing. Aroma is banana, spice, pineapple, spice. Sweet taste shows notes of pinepple, anise, brown sugar.
