22 oz bottle poured into a trappist glass has a amber brown color with a thin light tan head that disappeared. aroma has caramel sweet malt, dark fruit, figs, cherry, and hops mixed up with the alcohol. mouth feel is thinner with fizzy carbonation. flavor has a malted dark fruit combo. fig really stands out giving both in body and flavor. sweetness picks up and the dark fruits (fig, raisin, plumb) have a dominant role. just cant quite get into this one.

Bomber a friend was drinking when I arrived at there place. Pours brown orange with no head. Nose is figgy. Taste is figgy, very strange, but not bad.

Bottle at patrick767’s Fort Wayne Local tasting. Small tan head with lasting retention, transparent, no visible carbonation, spotty lacing, and a red hue. The aroma was dark fruits, figs, malt, hops, and semi-sweet. The flavor was malt, sweet, dark fruits, figs, lightly bitter, and a dry finish. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. An okay beer for me as I couldn’t get into the flavor of it for some reason and will pass on wanting this one again.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours mostly clear and amber with an off-white head. It has a mostly malt aroma with a hint of dark fruit. The nicely balanced malt flavor is joined by tasty pine and citrus hops. It has a nice full body and a mildly bitter finish. Very good.

Semi-cloudy amber pour, cream colored head. Carbonation fairly lively in the glass and in the mouth. Aroma of malt and grains,some darker fruits. Tastes more of sweet than roast malts, raisin, some caramel/toffee and somewhat creamy. Finishes a little earthy, some hops, small bitterness. Very drinkable. For some reason I was suprised that this was pretty good.
