Ruby copper pour with thin beige head. Aroma is plum, date, fig, raisin, and some spicy clove yeast character. Overripe banana takes a slight back seat, but remains evident throughout. Flavor is tart, dark fruit, and a slight warming alcohol that combines with a moderate hop character to form a delicious balance of flavors. Citrus and sweet malt are prevalent. Palate is prickling with carbonation, subsiding into a full smooth mouthfeel with a bone dry finish.

The little shop up the road has these in a four pack for $9. A real treat for the price. Love the banana and dark fruit aroma. Great, over ripe fruit and creamy malt flavor with just enough spice to enliven the brew. Stays on the tongue for a long but controlled time.

50 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Omaha. Deep brown/ruby colour, malty fruit aroma, some prune and clove notes. Smooth, somewhat sweet flavor, with raisin and ripe berry flavors. Long sweet finish.

Flaske: Overrater den måske en smule, men den var en tand varm da jeg drak den. Stor duft af rosiner og muscovado sukker. Flot skum på en mørkebrun klar øl. Dejlig vibrerende mundfylde. Smagen for kraftig vinøs, og med en tand lavere temperatur ville den have været mere afbalanceret.

Hazy reddish brown poured from 12oz bottle. Big frothy mostly lasting tan head. Fruity aroma hints of aniseed. Full, almost syruppy, on tha palate. Sweetish with floral taste and crisp fruity finish.

Bottle. Pours a mahogany beer with a brown head. The aroma is fruits and sweetness with notes of malt, yeast and a little caramel. The flavor is sweetness with fruits. The palate is dry and crisp. Overall a it vould use a little more balance, but still a good dubbel.
