Apr 20, 2007 Bottle: Very nice fruity aroma with some hints of tart cherry, plum, caramel, and oak. It pours a transparent orangish-red with small off-white head that quickly fades to a film. The flavor starts with moderate vinuous fruitiness with cherries and plums. There is a hint of caramel and chocolate in the background. The finish has a touch of oak and citrusy hop bitterness. A very nice flavorful session beer.

Apr 20, 2007 [253-20070407] 500mL (c/o jerc). Dried sweet fig fruit aroma with yeast and medium alcohol. Clear, deep red brown body with some big rising bubbles and a big quick foamy light tan head. Same sweet fig fruit flavour mixes with medium alcohol and light plastic, finish ends sweetly. Medium-full body is a little thin with noticeable alcohol. Big and boozy but nice sweet bonding.

Apr 16, 2007 Very complex taste of chocolate, oak, coffee, raisins and much more. Very well balanced. One of the best ales in the world.

Apr 15, 2007 Sudsy brownish-white head that lured me into the ruby, caramel-russet colored body. Sugary caramel nose with hints of toffee and a prevalent fragrance of creamy oak that carried well onto the palate. Sweet and candied balmy vim. Very classy beer with a venturesome swagger.

Apr 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours light mahogny with a big tan head. Sweet caramel aroma with hints of berries. Tart berries flavours mix with sweet caramel before a rather dry hoppy finish. Alcohol. One more, please.

Apr 14, 2007 Bottle from the LCBO. Dark ruby brown body, good sized tan head fades away. (3+) Sweet charred caramel aroma, light musty basement notes. 2nd wave of the aroma is surprisingly alcoholic. Flavour is much more dry than I expected, lots of toasty malt and alcohol is noticeable - more in the mouth feel and its contribution to the dry character than any boozy alcohol flavours. Some lovely caramel malt notes do not get to shine at first, but come out a bit more as the glass goes on. (7+) Average palate could be more full for my liking, bit it is adequate. Grows on me - a session strong?
