Nov 14, 2009 bottle pours semi clear dark red with light tan head that whisps away fast. aroma is some raisin with a touch of oxidation. there is a definite sweet caramel aroma as well. flavors follow the nose and the mouthfeel is a bit thin. overall a nice brew and nothing special.

Nov 9, 2009 Dark chestnut amber with thick tan head. Aroma is raisins, cherries, ginger, and other spices. Taste is the same with a rich and mildly vinous fruit component, and slight warming alcohol into the finish. Extra-high carbonation makes this drink a bit like a milkshake. $10/750ml

Nov 7, 2009 Pours a huge head, crazy foam. Aroma of spice, candy, some apple. First sip is biting- heavy carbonation...Need to let it settle down. Rich, chocolate, coffee, sweet and malty flavors, with spice and raisin. Like eating a thick slice of dark brown candied bread. Enjoyed it.

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy dark amber body. Apple pear plum raisin caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel raisin flavor with a good deal of hops bitterness and a hint of alcohol as well as a spicy note. Pretty carbonated and a long bittersweet aftertaste.

Oct 15, 2009 This is one of the best of the style I’ve had so far. Hazy reddish brown pour with small white head. Aroma is cranberry, raison, and loads of dark fruit with lost of caramel sweetness and mild yeast character. Flavor is sweet, balancing dark fruit, booze, and light fruit surprisingly well. Lots of different sugar types make the flavors complex and unique. Palate is full, leaving a sticky smacking finish.
