Jul 5, 2008 Attractive cloudy brown with a beige head. Raisins, spiciness, caramel in the nose - not that fruity. Flavor has notes of caramel, earthy hops, raisin, cherry, white grapes, dates, figs and perceived spiciness. Sweet, ends moderately bitter. Very full/thick on the palate for a quad (doesn’t have that "airy-ness")with moderate carbonation. Solid.

Jul 3, 2008 750ml bottle. thanks to chris.....poured a dark brown with some reddish plum hints. a thin slightly off-white head congegrated around the edges of the glass....aroma of perfectly aged ripe dark fruit and a superb sweet malt backbone.....flavor was extremely smooth, sweet with an emphasis on plums, raisins, and figs. carbonation could have been more tame as it was a little too lively....all in all, a finely tuned and aged quad that i was glad to share with another beerlover.

Jul 1, 2008 Shared by Pantanap at kanarama. The beers just kept coming. Poured a deep brown/plum into the glass. Aroma was figs, plums, and some port. Flavor was round and balanced, dark fruit, slightly tart, nice vintage wine character to it. Never tasted this fresh, but it seems like time has treated this well. Really tasty. Thanks Kan!
