Feb 1, 2008 I think dyetube and I are in the same BOM club!
This pours a hearty brown with an acceptable off white head and a nice cereal aroma. My initial impression from the pour was a fear that it might be too carbonated. It had a nice malty taste with trace hints of caramel. The finish was warm and smooth and left me wanting another sip! These are the kinds of beers I was hoping to discover and I will certainly be trying this again.

Jan 30, 2008 This beer was courtesy of my beer of the month club. It pours a deep brown/almost black with a medium tan head. The aromas are light chocolate and coffee with some Hawaiian flowers. The flavors are equally as interesting and good. Although I do get some plum in the flavor as well. it starts off lively has a little bite in the middle and then finishes quite dry. I really enjoyed this beer! Cheers!

Jan 29, 2008 BOTTLE: beautiful pour with nice thick beige head, dark brown color. Aroma is somewhat weak but pleasant and inviting. Palate is both very lively and creamy with a medium finish. Enjoyable somewhat sweet flavor is very nice.

Jan 29, 2008 Brown cloudy pour with tan head. Aroma of apples, brown sugar and chocolate. Taste of maple syrup, sugar and some faint alcohol. Nice finish, perfect for a winter evening sipping.

Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Feb 24, 2008Beer club selection. Poured a rich, dark brown, almost opaque, with a tan head that dissipates rapidly.
Aromas of chocolate, dark fruits and alcohol.
The maltiness is evident in the taste, sweet and earthy, then the alcohol brings a warming effect.
Thick syrups mouthfeel that seemed to coat everything from my lips to my stomach.
Not too sure I could handle more than one - ok, two - of these because of the alcohol and the syrupy thickness. But one - ok, two - is a very nice drinking experience.

Jan 27, 2008 Intense and interesting. Packs a wallop and doesn’t try too hard to mask the alcohol. Yet fortunately it’s not an overly ’hot’ beer. Loads of fig, currant and concentrated berry flavors. Vinous on some sips but malty all the way. Hard for me to finish the glass though, a lightweight day for me. A specific beer for special situations. Willing to give it another go.

Jan 27, 2008 Wow. This has quite the kick to it. Dark fruits, ala figs and berries, chocolate. Complex with an alcoholic finish that isnt offensive. Great beer.
