Dec 29, 2008 2007 bottle shared with Santoslhalper. Pours a deep reddish brown color with a small fizzy light tan head that is gone after a few seconds. Aroma is powerful dark dried fruit. Caramel malty and fruity. Lost of toffee too. The flavor is almost like a buttery cinnamon roll. Some raspberries, a slight tart, brown sugar, and a definite warming alcohol. A slight metallic note, but overall outstanding. The body is very rich and creamy, while possessing an strong effervescence.
