Nov 22, 2009 750mL shared into tulips. Courtesy of Shyam.
Pours muddy, super cloudy brown with a two-finger yellowish tan head that settles down quickly to a nice protective layer. Actually, this beer is 100% opaque light brown. It looks like straight up mud. Aroma of figs, homemade apple pie, apple danish. No lacing. Taste is very dry throughout with dry cocoa powder. There are also notes of spiced apples, Chambord, Grand Mariner, some oak, cherries. Some warming from the 8%. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. Yum.

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.
