| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Brown-amber with a bubbly brown head. From first pour, it is evident that this diverges sharply from the usual style. Brown-sugar and molasses strike the nose first. Honts of aged wood and sour cherry notes waft in. Richly flavorful, medium-bodied mouthfeel with multifacted palate of marsala notes, figs and then a caramel and chocolate-cherry finish. Wonderful melody of aromas and flavors lap over the senses. Depths of figs and brown sugar continue to reveal themselves. Sweet sugar-fig finish. KimJohansen (6932), Copenhagen V, Denmark
