Murky, reddish-brown ale with a thick, creamy, off-white head. Terrific retention and good lacing.
The nose is of dried prune, nectarine, toasted cinnamon and cocoa. The flavor is well-balanced, yet sweet and beefy. The hops kick in one micro-second after the strong, sweet malt pounds the tongue. Full-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Lengthy, astringent, dry finish. Thanks to jbrus for the bottle.

Aug 29, 2008 Pours a dull, deep ruby tending to auburn with a substantial but rather loosely packed off white head. Aromas are dominated by honey and caramel with obvious banana and hinting raisins. Palate seems alot more reserved. Caramel/toffee seem to accompany sweet malt with yeasty banana characters coming through. Finish is rather malty with subtleties of liquered raisins.
