Bottle. Pours a deep brown, decent head. Flavor is earthy and a bit sweet, noticable fig presence along with some roasted malts and caramelized sugars. Belgian yeast type notes also present giving it a sort of funk. Medium bodied on the palate, somewhat viscous and smooth. Leaves a lingering syrup note on the palate. Not a bad brew at all.

Aroma: Soft malts, plum, fig, caramel. Appearance; Dark Amber, initial thick caramel-colored head, light to medium carbonation. Flavor: Nice caramel, malty, citrus complexity, slight belgian-style like yeast lingers on finish. Palate: not too viscous, slight carbonation cuts any viscosity leaving clean finish. Overall: once again, bang for the buck with these guys. Only second behind the 11 in my preferred brews from this brewery.

Wow! Another Hebrew beer with (gasp!) Figs! Holy Messiah, enough already. Heavy syrup sweetness dominated by fig and raisin with a chewy molasses sweetness and a spicy citrus component. A little medicinal quality highlighted by a strong alcohol presence at the finish.

bottle at home in Puerto Rico from Consumer Beverages in Buffalo. Pours dark with medium foamy head. Nice dried fruit and malty aroma. Malty sweet flavour and aftertaste, nice strong alcohol content.

Really awesome beautiful beer. The malt and fig flavor blend seamlessly together. Gourmet. Unique. Good hop presence. This a beer you will crave later. It just smells so damn good. I have an idea. Let’s barrel age this beer and amp up the alcohol just a bit. Oooh baby that would be nice.

I was not impressed. I have a bias against most gimmic brews and this was no exceptioin. Too sweet. I think it has some identity problems. Hint of prunes.

Pours a deep burgundy color with a thin beige head. Aroma of dried fruit and hops. The flavor is really takes center stage: a combination of molasses and fruit - mostly cherries. The result is sweet, but quickly followed by some sourness. Moderately carbonated mouthfeel. As you finish a sip you get a slight burn from the high alcohol content. Hops are present, but play only a supporting role in this ale. A decent effort, but nothing to write home about.
