Bottle. Pretty dark almandine body with a thick lasting very foamy head. Very attractive beer! Nose-big Belgian spice (banana, etc) with a little stale hops backing it up. Taste-dark candi sugar, sweet, light flavors from the yeast consisting of banana, apple, clove, and a pinch of molasses, toffee, light scorched caramel, a hint of dark spice (anise, etc.). Very well done and surprisingly well crafted. None of the flavors really step on each other as they sometimes do in doubles, and at the same time, none of the flavors dominate. It isn’t too big and sticky but isn’t timid either. Very well done and highly recommended.

Re-rate-Very much like a mixture of 25% Port and 75% Chardonnay. Very, very white wine like.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours brown, amber brown. Sweet and malty thin bodied beer. Very small hints of fruits and unbalanced in my opinion.

does not count  Oct 22, 2008 First poured from a bottle at the Blue Pearl in New Haven, CT, then found at a local retail store. The only thing keeping this from being the perfect beer is my belief that such a thing does not yet exist. Poured an attractive dark amber with just a little bit of head. The flavor combination of malt, caramel, and a hint of spice blended and progressed fantastically before leading to a mellow finish and overall sense of satisfaction. Definitely a beer to enjoy in smaller amounts/at a slower pace rather than in rounds at a bar.

Oct 18, 2008 Poured a dark brown/copper with a light tan head. Sweet malts, caramel, brown sugar, and raisins in the taste. Not as thick as I was expecting. Aftertaste was very smooth. Overall very good.

Oct 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 25, 2008Very deep copper coloured beer with transient tan head. Cherry and date aroma. Sweet cherry start leads to stewed plums, gooseberries. Plum is dominant. Thin bodied but reasonable.
