Mar 2, 2008 Dark mahagony brown with nice tan head. Aroma is spicey with fig, raisins and candied sugar. COmplex mouthfeel and flavour, lots of dark fruit, plum and raisins with underlying sugary and yeasty malts. Nice smooth beer.

Feb 26, 2008 750 ml bottle, very ugly looking beer that I thought was not going to be very good but quite the opposite, fluffy head that recedes to a light brown ring, candied sugar and yeasty fruit yield an ephemeral essence, excellent with a Cohiba piramide

Feb 24, 2008 Bottle. Murkey, earthy brown pour with a small off white head. smells like raisons and fruit. Taste is raisons and fruit with some alcohol in the back. Not bad.

Feb 17, 2008 750ml bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a murky, swamp water brown with a small, wispy beige head, not much lacing. Nose was dominated by Dark candied fruits, spice, fig and alcohol. Flavor was much the same with a little extra kick of booze and yeast in the finish.

Feb 11, 2008 Shared w/ Exec board courtesy of Juart. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a reddish hue. Nose of raisins and some spice. A little bit of yeast and a lot of malt sweetness. Very malty flavor. Sweet raisins and fig with a nice bitter finish. A really good body that is kind of syrupy and very little carbonation.

Feb 10, 2008 Updated: Jan 15, 2009C&C 750, no date. Pours into my trusty Chimay glass a clear, brilliant mahogany red with a thin beige head. Nose is spicy dark fruits - fig and raisin primarily, with allspice and light anise, touched with roasty malt. Flavor is quite different - spice really takes over, a weird funky note creeps in, like bad nuts. The fruitiness comes through a bit as it warms up, the anise and allspice coming on strong. Strange, and not one I’ll be on the lookout for.
Re-rate. Clear amber brown, small beige head. All of the above, less the bad nut flavor, this is delightful! Guess that first one was off... numbers based on second try.
