Jul 19, 2007 Pours a dark red maroon, almost glowing, with a small off brown head which hugs the sides of the glass. Smells of rich, sweet malts, alot of dark fruit, berries, grapes, and a little apple. The taste is very fruity, with a syrupy mouthfeel, rich malts, with a hint of some cinnamon too. The caramel is big in the finish, which turns into sweet fruit. Much is the same in the aftertaste. Killer brew.

May 16, 2005 Poured a deep iced-tea like brown with a 1/4" head that slowly receded to form a thin ring around the top. Beer was lightly carbonated, and had an aroma consisting of raisins, dates, cocoa, and some alcohol. Roasted malts were very pleasant in the taste, and were well-blended with some dark fruit, vanilla, and alcohol. Smooth, non-cloying mouthfeel. Alcohol comes through as the beer warms. The beer is warm all the way down, with roasted malts in the aftertaste. This is a big and well-crafted beer!

Jul 27, 2006 Pours a dark brown with mahogany ho\ighlights. Thin but creamy tan head. Smells of rich dark malt. Muted sweet raisin and vanilla. Sweetish.
Tastes of caramel and toffee. Raisins abd plum. Lightly sour. All flavors a bit muted so not very overpowering. Big in the mouth though. Sticky but again muted enough so as not to be cloying. Sneaky smooth for 9.2 ABV. Pretty tasty stuff.

Dec 17, 2006 11.2 oz. bottle. Poured a deep clear ruby which can only be seen when held to sunlight. Thick, luscious head. I would have rated appearance a 5 except the head was gone before mid-glass. Really nice aroma of malt, barrel syrup, dates and figs. Dates, figs and caramel noted in the flavor with a warming alcohol finish. Sweet, smooth, almost silky mouthfeel. As the beer warms, the alcohol becomes more pronounced as do the sugary flavors. I actually preferred this beer ice cold and liked it less as it warmed. Very tasty stuff.

Feb 7, 2007 [bottle] Pours dark brown in color with a bubbling, tan head. Aroma is sweet, with elements of rapsberry fruit and alcohol. Flavors are pretty straight-up, malty and sweet, with some deep almost smokey complexity. Alcohol is warming, but not too intense. Great stuff, overall.

Mar 22, 2008 Dark auburn purplish color. No head at all. Aroma is faint. I’m only able to pick up a bit of maltiness. Notable carbonation on palate. Complex array of flavors. Toasty syrupy maltiness with plum. Hoppy balance at the end.
