GABF 2006: Murky brown color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of sweet dark fruit with notes of red apples, plums and molasses. Sweet dark fruity flavor with a semi-dry finish. Medium bodied. Very nice.

Pour is hazy murky amber with no head...sweet caramel aroma...had an almost oxidized aged flavor to it...very caramelly flavor with some toffee indeed...terrific chewy mouthfeel...quite surprising!

Draught. Body is dark amber. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (resin), lightly yeasty (dough), with notes of sherry and toffee. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation, moderately alcoholic.
