Vanilla chocolate nice sweetness mild toastiness some belgian fruits, but really just like a complex high abv brown ale done right

On tap. Smooth as can be. Great taste and vey good color. Slowly diminishing head but a taste that lingered sweetly in the palate. Grrrrrreat!

Bottle via Bonster.....Pours a moderate ruby / amber with a tight tan head that normally settles to a film. Body is neither light or medium but calmly lives tween the two. Body is mellow and long. Finish is muted and lingers on my desirous palate. Ripe stone fruits reservedly dance upon your palate and are intermingled with candi sugar, cardomom and corriander. To paraphrase Eric Idle...."9%???...you must be mad!....I wont accept even 7% on this!" Completly enjoyable.

Bottle from my local. Dark reddish brown color with a thick tan head. Aroma is caramel and dark fruits. Up front the flavor is dark fruits and molasses accompanied by nuts with a hint of spice and yeast bringing up the rear. Slightly warming at the end but I think the alcohol is well hidden for the strength. Me likey.

Bottle, 2008-10-15 brow body, thin head F: drak fruit, cholcolated (not the best one), brown caramel, baking syrup

Cloudy brown, quick tan foam that leaves some falling bits of lacing. Aroma is candied plums, caramel, sweet malts. Taste is very nice, pitted fruits, prunes, grapes, sweet caramel malts.

26.10.2009, 0,33l bottle. Lorry. Mørk brun farge. Uten skum. Maltaroma som er veldig søt. Lite kullsyre. Blir vesentlig bedre etter hvert. Dette er min første rating med mobilen!

(Bottle) Very sweet. Aroma mostly of bananas and caramel, but remarkably complex. Some unpleasant sourness, in addition to being, in my opinion, too sweet. I have mixed feelings on this one; A+ for the aroma but lacking in the flavor and overall feel of the beer.
