May 29, 2008 5/22/08 750 ml bottle thanks to Boltz5555 for sending me this one. Pours a red brown color with a brown head. Nose is yeasty with raisins and dough, dried fruit and brown sugar. Nice smooth carbonation. Mostly dried fruit flavors with sweet and burnt malts. Its a little boozy and watery as well. Slightly disappointed, but I’ll certainly try this one again.

May 28, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours dark dark brown basically black with a light tan head. Good smell and taste almost like a carbonated wine. Really shocked best beer I have had with rasin in it. I want more.

May 27, 2008 750 from Saints Club. I’d been leery of this one because of the advertised raisins. Not because I have anything against raisins, but because it seemed like a candidate for flavor singularity/dominance. Shoulda trusted Tomme, as it turns out. While the raisins are there - delectable and slightly tart rather than processed or sugary - it’s part of a monstrously good Abt that rivals some of the best Belgian styles out there. Man, what a brewery.

May 25, 2008 750 bottle. Pours black with a small brown head. Nose of alcohol, sweetness, raisins, caramel, chocolates. Thick, chewy, sticky, full flavored of molasses, syrup, sweet fruits (figs, dates, raisins). Alcohol presents itself as the beer warms. Well done and very drinkable.

May 25, 2008 Picked a bottle up from the Pizza Port bottle shop in Carlsbad. Pours a red/brown with little head. Nose of dark fruits. Amazing mouthfeel with flavor of raisins, dark fruit, and spices. The flavor sits on the tongue for minutes after tasting. I will definitely be picking up a couple more of these.

May 24, 2008 Bottle from Sabatinis Pizza in Exeter, PA. Striking aroma and flavor of biting dark cherry/raisin saddled with grapes, plums, chocolate and an aftertaste which kind of reminds me of a bitter roasted juicy fruit gum with a shade of wood. (if it was a bit less on the listerine side, this would be in my top ten!) This is where the beer turns dry on my tongue after the creamy fruit layer hits my lips. The malts are very prominent and the hops come out in the finish. This finish became more notable as the beer warmed up.
