Appearance: light haze on brown with hint of garnet. Lighter pleasantly contrasting fine top. 3+
Nose: malty nose with light hint of prunes, Italian plum and alcohol. Fairly traditional. 7-
Flavor/Palate : medium bodied with softer walls. Brown malt with hint of hazelnut , caramel and woody bitterness. Fairly smooth palate. Low carbonation. Late top end burn. One of mellower dark bocks. Very well presented . Perhaps bit unfinished feel yet this one can show its good side very well.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle from Premier Gourmet. Didn’t expect so few ratings for this beer, cool.
Pours a murky deep red body full of carbonation. Small quick biege head left with a lasting ring. Aroma is full of apples, spice, berries, malt with some slight yeast notes. Medium, very warming mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet caramel, spicy bitterness. Candy, malty finish. Slight alcohol burn. Started off with a lot of carbonation but really smoothed out nicely. Pretty solid beer.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep marroon with a thin and quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is yeast and brown sugar with a very faint touch of clove. Nice earthy, bready start, spicy middle and very sweet caramel finish which keeps building as it rests. Medium viscosity on the palate with very little carbonation. Very good, would definitely recommend it for a try.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle sample at Noogfest High 5. Poured brown with an off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and brown sugar. The flavor found dark fruits, caramel malts, and a touch grainy. Medium body and sweet.

Sep 10, 2009 500 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron. Poured a lot lighter then I was expecting, a muddy brown with an average sized creamy beige head. Aroma was very nice good with lots of all overall sweetness....raisins, dates, honey, slight nuttiness, buttered brown toast and slight alcohol with some warming. The body on this one was thinner then expected and with some stronger bubbly carbonation this one really wasn’t what I was expecting. The flavor is far hotter then I was expecting with such a low ABV, well compared to what I’m used to anyway. Lots of grainy bread, dark fruits and artificial sweetner flavors. Despite the heat and the weaker flavor then I was expecting the aroma is so good it really carries this beer. Worth trying if you can find it.
