Amber in colour with a tight bubbly light tan head. Ferocious carbonation shoots up continually from the bottom of the glass.
Lightly fruity aroma, peaches and cream, strawberrys, custard apples, with ever present medicinal hints in the back, with some spice.
Sweet apples in the taste..red apples, some strawberry, bitter malt finish, thats long lasting, some tannin in the end too.
Very nice comfortably carbonated..great palte.
Enjoyable beer for 10%! jason (1627), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 17/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Pours with an amber color with lots of sediment and a small off-white head. The beer smells of dark dried sweet fruit, a little of barnyard, yeast, and very dark malt. The beer feels medium to the palate with some light to medium carbonation. The initial flavor of the beer is sweet, and it finishes off with a bitter taste that lingers well after the final sip. A sensational beer that appeals to many different beer tastes! blklab2007 (982), Connecticut, USA
