Aroma is heavy dark fruit with slight spicy notes thrown in as well. Taste is dark fruit on the top with caramel and malt sweetness, ending in a slight grainy and nutty bite. Very nice. fidel (884), Livermore, California, USA Jul 27, 2008 Hazy dark amber, sweet, dark fruits, malty, spice, caramel, yeast, grain, little nutty, slight hop. bleeng (587), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA Jul 25, 2008 Updated: Dec 24, 2008750 ml bottle. Dark brown, small head. Nose of stale hops like an old worn out IPA. Taste is sweet, spicy, peppery, and old stale hops. The old hops linger well past the swallow. A bit watery and not much lingering on the end. Not their best effort or this is just an old, not well taken care of bottle. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 17, 2008 Updated: Jul 12, 2009old rating:
