Wow! Orange-brown colour, slightly cloudy with a nice off-white head. Huge smell of ginger, raisin, bubble gum, and a fair amount of alcohol. I also get some sort of tree resin, cedar or juniper, but I can’t quite tell which. More subtle notes include nutmeg and other warm spices. Taste is quite bready and yeasty, fairly sweet with huge candi sugar taste followed by rich maltiness and a very long raisin and apricot finish. Very rich tasting and quite warming. Simply awesome! I drank the end ten minutes ago and I can still taste it.

Nov 18, 2008 Lots of light flavors. Fruity. Typical spices and coriander. White head. Ok all around.

Nov 2, 2008 750ml bottle: poured cloudy orange with a thick off white head. Mild caramel aroma, very mild. Not much aroma to speak of. Flavor is malty with a bit of sweetness but not a whole lot. Moderate fruitiness. Not a whole lot going on here really.

Oct 17, 2008 750 ML bottle purchased at Raja Liquors in Livermore, CA. The pour: golden caramel, with a large bubbled head that collapsed somewhat quickly due to its alcohol content. Bouquet: yeastiness, caramel, spiciness. The entry: heavy mailtiness that just envelops the whole mouth with a maltinessbalanced with a spicy fruitiness at the same time. The finish (aftertaste)- maltiness, caramel. Enjoyed with tacos spiced with Dave’s Ultimate Insanity hot sauce! Praise GOD for this one!
