Feb 6, 2007 10th Annual SD Strong Ale Fest: Poured a clear dark brown color with a ruby tint and small off-white head. Some Belgian yeasty estery character. The flavor was some nice fruity esters over a toffee malt base. Notes of golden raisins, apples and a sweet finish. Medium bodied. The alcohol is well hidden.

Dec 27, 2006 Sample from a 3 liter bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan diminishing head. Smells of sugar and dark fruit. Taste is of sugar, syrup, dark fruit and very boozy. Finish is lightly peppery. Not terrible, but not a quad.

Nov 18, 2006 From 3 Liter bottle, shared by DarkElf - thanks for the chance at this! Pours a mahogany color and clear with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, molasses with hints of maple, tart fruit and a bit of spice. Flavor is quite sweet, brown sugar, prunes, hints of rich brown bread. Full, thick body, gentle and creamy carbonation. This was interesting and quite good, but seems it would benefit from some age.
