Sep 12, 2008 Rich and deep roasted caramel toffee nose, some hints of dark chocolate. Coffee brown with red hues, huge foamy head that settled into a dense pillow. Intensely malty syrupy sweet, noticeable but mellow bitterness, warming alcohol. Soft carbonation, rich full body with an oily mouth feel, long slow complex alcohol burning finish. A really nice beer, the alcohol completely balances the sweetness.

Appearance:Deep mahogany pour with a one finger beige head that lingered.
Aroma:Sweet malts, caramel, chocolate, red wine, alcohol and oak. A hint of sour cherries.

Dec 18, 2007 Draft - beautiful deep ruby color with a nice tan head. Fruity aroma. Flavor was also of dark fruits, yet malty. Sweet, but not overly. A very nice beer

Dec 9, 2008 Dark brown purplish pour with garnet highlights and thin light tan head. Nose of raisin and anise, some plum, and huge amounts of sweet dark malt, but absent is alcohol. Flavors are earthy, rum soaked fruit, black cherry, peat, leather. There is a pleasant warming sensation but not much alcohol flavor. Body is medium chewy with high carbonation. Very tasty and very alcoholic, a winning combo in my book...

Jan 22, 2008 Quite the surprise but I guess it shouldn’t have been. A dark pour, with not such a big head. Smells like a fruit roast if that makes sense. A very full body with a nice long finish. Had it in bottle poured to stein.

May 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 7, 2008(GERMAN) The color is a dark brown almost black with a fizzy sm-white head. 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.
