Feb 11, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- my bottle. Pours a hazy reddish-brown with a good size off-white head. Sweet, sugary aroma of malt, spices and alcohol. Complex flavour of sweet malt, spices, alcohol, brown sugar, citrus and herbs (thyme and the like). Full bodied. Wow, this is a great beer and a pleasant surprise -- fantastic!

Nov 18, 2004 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Almost red in color with hardly a head (6 oz serving). Aroma is fruity, malty and sweet. Taste is some dried fruits, cinamon & pepper and malt. Not too sweet, balanced and medium bodied. Interesting and complex.

Feb 23, 2004 Bottle '02. This beer formed a small sized head with fine sized bubbles. The body was murky with a brown hue. The nose was malty, somewhat hoppy, sweet and fruit notes (orange?). The flavor was malty, spicy and alcohol. The mouthfeel was a little tingly and smooth. This was a medium bodied beer that had fair lacing.

Dec 10, 2003 2003 vintage. Pours a dark brown with splashes of ruby. Small tan head. Nose is watery cocoa, spice, yeast, and hints of malt. The taste is comprised of fruit, more spice(nutmeg and coriander?), dark chocolate, and perhaps anise. Very carbonated mouthfeel and has that "sharp" feeling associated with it. It finishes decently enough with little bitterness. Pretty good beer!
