Apr 19, 2008 Tap @ Port Brewing. Pours a ruby red with a fading head. Light fruity aroma, some banana. Good fruit mouthfeel, smooth malty. chocolatey. Alcohol is very well hidden. Raisen aftertaste with a hint of alcohol warmth. Would buy again!

Apr 18, 2008 Drunk from a wine glass. Cloudy. Orange-brown at base, transitioning to auburn, then deep red, with an off-white head. Intense, fig, plum, raisin and chocolate aromas, with hints of honey and bready malt. Strong malty flavor, with a warming alcohol finish and deliciously sweet hints of raisin, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel and even some rye-ish spiciness. A very unique take on one of my favorite styles.

Apr 17, 2008 Cloudy brown with a small white head. Sweet and fruity with figs, dates and plums in the nose and on the tongue. Nice alcohol presence, warming. Lightly bitter finish. Very nice abbey ale.

Apr 6, 2008 Pours a murky cola brown with very little head. Great aroma of dried fruits - figs, raisins (surprise, surprise). Flavor and palate are disappointing. It feels as if the aggressive carbonation (which came as a surprise due to the lack of a head) drowns out the best of its flavor, which offers faint notes of the same dried fruits, along with a bit of molasses. It gets a little better as it warms, but for how dark it is, this one drinks like a blonde. Left me wanting more.

Mar 28, 2008 Bottle: Dark mahogany color with a ruby tinge through the light. A nice creamy thick tan head rests ontop with a lusterous ring of lacing around the outside. The nose is initially raisins, fig, other darker fruits along with molasses and brown sugar. Some muscovado and musky earthy hops. Plenty of thick body and yeasty esters. Leather and dates dance with cherry and vanilla. Creamy balanced finish, smooth mouthfeel. Quite good!
