Aug 2, 2009 Wowzers. Aroma is strong musty alcohol and fermented sugar. Pours dark brown, no fizz. Taste is very raisin and prunes, with a tangy yeasty finish, pretty weird.

Apr 21, 2009 Dark brown color and cloudy. Aroma is sweet caramel. A bit oxidized and a very faint carboard taste. Taste also has a bit of fruit and caramel molasses sweetness. Aged well IMO, not too stale and still nice sweet flavors and balanced profile. Never had fresh though.

Apr 20, 2009 Bottle shared by yobdoog at jimmacks Beer Wars preparty. Poured pretty ugly with a murky muddy brown body and an almost nonexistant head. Boozy aroma of honey, toffee and grapes. Sweet flavor of honey, raisins, toffee and biscuit. Holding up suprisingly well as long as you like sweet beers.

Apr 17, 2009 Jim Mack’s Pre-Beer Wars Gathering. Pours a mahogany body with a tan lacing. Soy, chocolate, caramel, chewy cherry a hint oxidized but the etoh servers it purpose for the most part. Paper notes as well. These just don’t age so well, maybe its the cobalt bottles and maybe its something else.

Mar 7, 2009 750, corked and foiled. Thanks, GLKaiser! Pours mahogany with caramel highlights. Headless, laceless. Huge nose of chocolate, prunes, tawny port, and raisins. Creamy medium body. Almost expected something thicker and stickier, but it’s incredibly drinkable. Chocolate, brown bread, figs, and raisins on the mid-palate. Long roasty toasty nutty finish.

Jan 12, 2009 750ml bottle shared by toncatcher. Lots of nice carmel and sweet malty notes in the aromas. Flavor fell off a bit with touches of the same, but in a reduced mode. I wonder if age has taken a bit of a toll?

Jun 17, 2008 750ml bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 . Pours a dark brown color with no headand no carbonation. Aroma is medium sweet, wood, caramel and raisins. Taste is semi bitter, raisin, soy, and alcohol.
Argo0 stated it well" Not sure if it aged poorly or if it ever was any good, but unpleasant now."
