On tap at Mahars. Poured a nice brown with not too much head, aroma was tangy and sweet. Flavor very fruity with some good dried fruit taste and brown sugar.

Pours a dark russet with ruby highlights, Honeybread or possibly bread yeast on the nose. Stalky raisins and an iron ore oakiness on the palate, finishes drier than i expected.

On tap, served in a snifter from the Green Leafe in Williamsburg, VA. Dark brown brew with a moderate head. Smooth taste, with hints of fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Nice taste left in the mouth after the sip. One of the best beers I have had in awhile.

33cl in namesake goblet: Clear brown ale with medium rocky head which leaves a nice lacing. Nose puts forth dried fruits, alcohol and some nut. Taste is same with a bit of malt and toffee. Vinous character. Clean but a little unbalanced for my taste.

Bottle, sampled at Christmas during family beer tasting. Color was a brownish one with red hints. Aroma of dark fruit, brown sugar, yeast, and light cocoa hints. Flavor was basically the same with a pretty solid balance of flavors. Overall, it was just an ok tasting beer, but nothing to make it stand out.
