Figs in the mash, an ale that not initially but after a whole emits a cuvee like aroma. It’s a sipper, it’s better with food. A brownish tinge. A unique one. SIgnificant carbonation, medium mouthfeel.

Pour is a dark red with almsot no head. Aroma is weird but good. Lots of fruityness with some sugar and i guess fig but i’m not sure what fig smells like. Flavor is a bit of dark fruit but over the top sweet. A different beer but a bit to sweet for me. This would be a good one to share as it is very thick and sweet.

(22oz. bottle) Pours a hazy deep amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of fig, rotten apple, molasses, and pomegranate. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, figs, plum, and caramel.

Pure HeBrew. Malty. Syrupy. I can understand why some folks don’t like this. But when I’m done with a mediocre Japanese meal in a town that it’s too bad doesn’t have better Japanese food, I’m glad we get this beer. I like the sweetness. The difference between a 3.6 and a 3.7 for me is the slight taste of cola. Not good. Otherwise, solid.

Bottle purchased from Willow Bend Liquors (Lutz, FL) pours a clear, dark amber color with a thick beige head. Very unique aroma, it’s sweet but a noticeable aroma of figs and various spices too. Flavor is also sweet, dried fruit, and malts. Fair amount of bitterness in the finish. It is a nice and unusual flavor, but a little too sweet for my liking.

Pours a clear reddish amber, nice initial head fades away entirely. Aroma is of caramel malts, faint overall. Flavor is caramel malts with a hop bitterness on the finish. The bitterness comes through, but there is no defined hop flavor. There is also a bit of a cardboard note, bordering on vinyl. No fig came through for me. Not horrible, but nothing to get all excited about either.

Bottle. Pours a dark copper color with a thick tan colored head that quickly recedes. Aroma is caramel, some spice and figs. Flavor is caramel malt, fig, raisins. Palate is medium to full bodied, medium to mild carbonation finished sweet yet with a slight dry finish. Decent.

Pours bronze with a reddish tan head. The aroma has dark toasted malt, fig, spice and plastic notes. Medium / full body that starts smooth, gets crisp and finishes with a shot of short lived explosive carbonation. The flavor starts with the malt and fig of the aroma & thankfully the plastic aspect is gone. It is somewhat sweet with pepper and dark cherries. The finish dries out a bit and gets sharper. Decent beer.
