The aroma is a combo of molasses, caramel and prunes. The taste is of dark fruits, alcohol, and licorice. And the mouthfeel is extremely smooth and creamy !!! This was a pleasant suprise and i would drink it again. ilovedarkbeer (1333), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 28, 2008 This stuff is tasty. Pours a dark brown color with reddish highlights. Head is small to medium sized and is an off white color. Nose is booze, chocolate, caramel, yeast, and bread. Taste is very sweet with some caramel and sugar. The alcohol content is somewhat present but it makes the beer what it is. I enjoyed this one and the holographic label is pretty different as well. dirt55 (155), Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from stoutlover72. Served in my happy stein- poured semi transparent black, light-medium carbonation, waffs of an off tan head appeared and went. Aroma of licorice, figs, and some darkened malt. HIts the mouth with a medium body, malt is detectable, alot of stickiness around your mouth with every swallow, alcohol is very noticeable. Middle has the taste of overcooked maple syrup- not disheartening, but not appealing either- finish keeps going long after the swallow is history. Very interesting brew.
