Cute little bottle. Can’t thank walleye enough for this bottle. Absolutely divine. Smell was chocholate covered rasberries, as was the taste. I should write much more about how extravogant this beer is, but only one word can describe it. PERFECT! Thanks again Jim

Many thanks for Sliffy and Blake for allowing me to taste this on two seperate occaisons! Wow, one of the greatest noses I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Chocolate covered cherries describes this best. Dominant brewers chocolate and sweet Bing cherries carry through the entire experience. The flavour even reminds one of the sweet gooey center of........well, a chocolate covered cherry. Carbonation was a bit lacking and I would’ve liked to have seen a bit more, but that flavour is just wonderful. Zero discernable fusel content considering it’s near 11% alcohol and a mouthfeel that is quite pleasing with some good complexity going on. Gotta get more of this!

Thanks to brewblackhole. Dark brownish color. WOW! The smell is out of this world. Smell of malt, chocolate, caramel, raspberries, brown sugar and toffee. Taste of chocolate malt, brown sugar, caramel, raspberries, darker fruit, toffee, syrup and a wonderful aftertaste. What a treat! Nice and smooth.

poured into small tulip. 2004. wow, wow, wow, good stuff, I was excited for this but did it match my expectations. it is good. pours a dark red with bubbly presence. malty dark chocolate rasberry aroma. dark chocolate rasberry on taste with a mild coffee finish. offers a smack of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. has a spritzy front with a malty finish. talk about complexity, this is it, the middle offers you a peek to what this beer has to offer. it’s like "the chocolate cherry from the heart shaped box" (jay) sweet, complex and good, very good, a wonderful mouthful with complex chocolate, malt, and the rasberry offering the balance... thanks to my BA friend Thomashardy for this treat.

2004 bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Steg was exicited when he received this retired beer. Brown pour with a cognac smell. Had a wine taste of fruit molasses and alcohol. Absolutely smooth. Thanks little bro and thanks DrBayern. The cerimonial humping of the bottle was done.

2004 bottle sampled shared with Mad_indian thanks to DrBayern for sending this brew to me. Pours clear dark brown with no head at all. Aroma of Fruit, molasses, sweetness, wood, and sherry. The flavor is exceptionally smooth, sweet, fruit, sherry, and finishes with a nice alcohol warmth.

Sampled from 2004 vintage, 187 ml bottle, pours a clear brown amber brew wth no head or ring on glass side. Aroma of rich dark chocolate, molasses with a very faint raspberries. Taste is smooth, creamy no carbonation and full bodied. Flavors picked up included chocolate and caramel with some tart dark berries. Finish is smooth, semi-syrupy with a tart raspberry aftertaste. A terrific treat! Thanks goes to olso2116 for sharing this retired gem.
