Jan 14, 2007 Pours a very dark brown that has some ruby highlights around the edges, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly to a thin spotty cap, and leaves only a small amount of lace.
Smell; lots of molasses caramel malts, with raisins, figs and other dark fruits. The smell has a strong vinous quality to it.
Taste; toasted caramel malts with some sweet molasses, and very rich. The vinous quality comes through in the flavor as well, with some grapes, and other dark fruits. There’s also a bit of a nutty taste in the finish to go along with a slight alcohol burn. Mouthfeel is full bodied, and very creamy. This goes down pretty easy, though it’s definiely one to sip.

Jan 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours ruby brown with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit restrained, mostly just sweet malt, a little dark fruit maybe as well. The flavor is sweet malts, and the hint of dark fruit in the aroma really comes thorugh in the flavor, the middle is like drinking sweet carameled rasins (and even though I hate raisins, it’s quite tasty) then the finish is nice warming alcohol.

Jan 9, 2007 Updated: Apr 28, 2007100% malt on the nose. Very sweet on the palate, rich, thick, warming and bold. As I continue, the alcohol gradually warms, wonderful beer.

Jan 4, 2007 Dark brown pour with reddish highlights around the bottom and edges. Aroma is of cherries, malt and alcohol. Lightly carbonated. Initially very warming and strong. Lots of dried fruit and sweetness towards the middle. The finish is long with a sticky sweetness that lingers. Pretty good for something I found on the bottom shelf of the store priced at 1.99!

Jan 1, 2007 Updated: Mar 24, 2007Bottle dated July 11th 1996. Pours a deep blood red with a decent size head and light carbonation, surprisingly for being over 10 years old. Smells of sweet malt and currants/cherries. Taste is of a very dry cherry and sweet at the same time. Very well balanced and smooth with a dry taste that is very drinkable and made me want more. This bottle could stand another 5 years or so. Cheers.
