From a 22 oz bottle taken directly from the beer cellar and poured at 55 degrees, this poured a garnet color with a tan head and good lacing rings.s Nose is rich dark ripe fruit with the figs clearly present. Mouthfeel is sticky but still shows carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet and shows ripe fruit and again the figs. But it is in the finish where the figs really show up and there is a light bitterness that makes this an overall delightful brew to drink.

shouldn’t this be a fruit /veggie ale if it’s infused with fig? pours a dark amber with a thin tan head. aroma is malty and dark fruit alc. More dark fruit carries through into the flavour. malty molasses presence, but not overly toasty or chocolatey. Slight bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Poured brown with a fizzy off-white head that settles out quick. Aromas of dark fruits and rye. The flavor finds more dark fruits with a strange mix of malts. Medium body with lively carbonation. Dry, sweet up front and a hoppy bitter ending.

Strong and lightly fruity malt aroma. Clear amber color with a medium tan head. Malty taste getting sweet towards the finish. Light amount of hops are noticeable but mostly masked by the malt. Creamy palate until the end were it starts to lighten up.

22oz bottle. Aroma of sweet fruits, fig. Red body with off white head. Fruit juice flavor that was too sweet and bitter for my palate.

Murky burgundy; thin head. Full and rewarding on the tongue. Rich malt flavors filled with molasses and toffee, plus a cornucopia of fruit flavors (fig, apple, pear, raisin). Nice amount of earthy-grassy hops to boot. Another tasty He’Brew.

THOUGHTS: A nice beer. I usually love He’brew beers, but this isn’t nearly as good as most of their offerings. Reminds me of a watery or at least lighter Raison D’etre. Actually probably a great beer, but a sorta weak He’brew at the same time. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark red with a small tan head that fully diminished that left virtually no lacing. The aroma was raisin, apple, cherry and something else that must have been fig, along with some red wine, alcohol, moderate to heavy molasses and slight cereal malt. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and moderately acidic; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet, lightly acidic and moderately bitter with an average duration. There was molasses, what must be fig, but also raisin, apple, cherry, alcohol and then some hops right at the end. The light to medium body was syrupy and sticky on the lips with fizzy carbonation and a metallic, light astringent and light to moderate alcoholic finish.
