Jul 20, 2007 Bottle; Poured a nice reddish brown; Small off white/tan head. Aroma was good; with hints of dark fruit, brown sugar, bubblegum, yeast. Flavor had very strong chocolate component; also hints of caramel, dark fruits, and candy sugar. I enjoyed this, and it got better throughout the tasting.

Jul 19, 2007 A very good beer that I probably don’t appreciate enough because Pannepot Reserva preceded it. There is sweet malt in the aroma. Opaque brown appearance. Flavor has some fruit, including prunes and apple, as well as sweet malt. A thick beer, and very good in or out of its style.

Jul 19, 2007 Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry fruits and candi sugar is quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt with candi sugar and some notes of dry figs and raisins are also noticeable. Body is quite full with some good carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. I thought this was well done overall but lacked some complexities to take it to a greater level.

Jul 16, 2007 Thanks to badgerben for sharing. Nicely balanced malt and hops on the nose with plenty of raisin, fig, and other dark fruit characteristics. Similar body with the alcohol burning through.

Jul 16, 2007 A reddened oak shade of brown. Aroma of raisins burned in a brown sugar reduction. A bit of port character, molasses and oatmeal cookies. Iron is unmistakable at first. Plums, cacao, and raspberries. Dense and approachable with its sugar-rolled doughy sweetness. Finishes on a dry rub of anise seed and ground cloves. Palate is fairly light and lively given the general construct. Plenty of possibilities here with scattered conclusions. One of those that never evolves into the full sum of its parts. Thanks Larry!

Jul 15, 2007 A brewery that fails to make a less than great brew. Reddish brown with a heavy whitish head. Raisins, sugar, malt, yeast, and figs are the aroma. Similar is the taste but with emphasis on the yeast. The finish left lingering flavors.
