Wow - what a mouthful - a flavorfest! A fruit salad with hops. Aroma - sweet tobacco with cherry sweetness thrown in for good measure. Good thick head but not a whole lot of lacing. Thick, sediment filled dark brown pour. Flavor - many things - raisins, prunes, dates, nuts - you name it - it is in there. Thick mouthfeel - like a meal in itself. Strong finish, alcohol is evident but not overpowering. A winner.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle, brought by NoiZe. Clear brown color, short head. Aroma of hop, raisin, slight fruity. Bit barley wine like. Malty, complex. Malty and fruity taste, brandy, madeira. Keeps on developing while you drink. Good.

Sep 6, 2008 Pour was dark brown/golden with no head. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt, and sweet alcohol. Very low carbonation makes for a smooth mouth feel. Very sweet malt flavors with more roast, dark fruit, caramel, and maybe some raisin character. Very malty! Damn good brew. Would definitely love to try again.

Sep 5, 2008 The beer is black with a huge brown head! In the aroma there is figs, roasted barley (very roasted) and alcohol. Flavor is of figs, and roasted barley sweet, with a slight burn from the alcohol.
