(Bottle) Pours dark brown with a red glow. The head is sand colored. The aroma is of medium roasted malt, dark fruits like prunes and raisins, sweet liquorice, mild caramel, sourish coffee and some dark chocolate in the background. Rather sweet on the nose with fruity tones of blackberries, melons and pears. Some hops are also present with hints of resin, oranges and flowers. The flavour is of medium roasted grain, mild caramel, dark dried fruits, sweet liquorice, chocolate, blackberries and hints of hops. The mouthfeel is spicy, bit sticky and light smooth. Medium sweet and light bitter. An aftertaste of dark syrup, dark fruits and chocolate lingers. Medium bodied.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from John’s Market Place in Multnomah Village, Portland, OR--Poured a deep hearty black-brown body with a medium soft grey head. Nose of liquorish, vanilla, milk, mild sourness, chocolate, toffee, and roasted java beans. Great full-on malt spine with bittering hops imparted in finish. Mildly cloying and perhaps a little out-dated (John’s is known for this) but overall, a welcomed companion.
