Mar 13, 2009 On cask at Day of the Living Ales 2009, GI Wrigleyville, Chicago: This poured a deep copper/brown with an off-white head. It had a rich malty aroma filled with caramel, nuts, toasted grain, and dark fruit. The fruit grew in the flavor but the nuttiness seemed to balance the sweetness nicely. They should sell this one here.

Feb 20, 2009 On tap @ the brewpub. Pours perfect clear amber with off white head. It has a fairly pungent aroma with bold ripe cherries, prunes and figs with sugar sweet malts in the background. The taste begins with sweet malts and some brown sugar. It quickly becomes very sweet as ripe cherry and hints of molasses hit midway. As the finish approaches thick rich sweet cherries, prunes and raisins bludgeon the senses with slick sweetness that doesn’t ever let up. Still, I found the flavor very nice.
