Aug 24, 2009 Wow was this different from what I was expecting. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Taste is all roasted toffee and sweet candied fruits with a hefty hearty coffee backbone. Burnt coffee. Completely shocked by this one. Hoppy sweet coffee and toffee and plums and pears and banana...too complex to list. Just fantastic. Taste is remarkably similar to Hair of the Dog’s Adam.

Aug 19, 2009 500ml bottle from Cracked Kettle. Pours black with a big creamy moka head. Head retention is good. Some lacings on the glass. Head is very nice looking. Looks like an iced cappuccino. Nose is big chocolate and roasted malt at first. Then it gets more hoppy, piny and oily. Finish is big roasted malt at first then it gets more hoppy.Fnish is long. Carbonation is faint but palate is great; oily and creamy. Some alcohol, feeling is quite liquory and syrupy. Great beer !

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle... Poured deep ruby-ish brown with a thick khaki head that lasted throughout the whole brew. Dark fruits like plums, raisins and berries on the nose with a bitter barley character. Nicely spiced with continuous dark fruits in the flavors. A little bit of a metallic hop bitterness to counter the sweeter flavors and a chocolaty finish.
