May 3, 2009 Big malt aroma jumps out even before pouring, bread, raisin, fig, toast. Pour dark brown, but clear, moderate tan head. Flavor is toasted maltiness, bread and dried fruits, some apple cider. Finishes more bitter than sweet. Medium body, distinctly warming on the palate.

Apr 25, 2009 From a 12 fl. oz. bottle no. 1757315. This pours a vey brown with hints of ruby red when held to the light. The head is a modest beige that stays around for most of the the tasting. The aroma is of sweet malts and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. The taste is like a strong ale with a noticeable alcohol note but smooth on the throat when it goes down. Hoppy aftertaste.

Apr 11, 2009 Deep mahogany pour with a ruby highlight ans a small off-white head that fades quickly to a thin ring. Very rich dark fruit aroma with hints of molasses, cherry, brandy, and some vinous quality. The flavor is burnt caramel, dates, tobacco, brandy, a little cocoa, and some more vinous hints on the finish. There’s also a little bit of a lingering irony/vegetal note after you swallow. Oily, medium-full body. This a real winter warmer or desert beer but it is slightly cloying.
