May 30, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle at TJ’s. Poured chocolate brown with a skim of fizzy tan head. Flavor absolutely dominated by sweet, dark fruits. Lots of plum, fig, and raisins evident. A very good beer, nowhere near the 10 though.

May 29, 2009 Enjoyed this much more than the 6. complex aroma with caramel, sugars, yeast, and some fruit. Taste is OK (aroma better). Notes of caramel, some fruits and a little booze. Enjoyable overall.

May 29, 2009 Have been saving this one for a special occasion - completion of an 18 month project. Pours a dark chestnut brown with lots of carbonation. Tan head, lots of yeast sediment. Nose is dark fruit, alcohol, yeast, and light hint of licorice. Taste is sticky, with caramel malt and some spice, slightly bitter, also some smoky characteristics - very subtle cigar taste. Chest warming alcohol. A very complex and excellent beer.

May 28, 2009 Pours murky brown with a big, foamy beige head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is of malt, caramel, yeast, sugar, and fruit. Taste starts off with a big malt flavor with lots of caramel evening it out. Big notes of banana and sugar. Lingering taste of banana and slight spice. Warming alcohol presence that doesn’t take away from the other flavors at all. Body is very light due to the carbonation. Mouthfeel is very fizzy and overly malty. I was definitely dissapointed after both the 10 and the 6, but it was decent.

May 27, 2009 Short, tan head with no lacing, dark orange/amber color. Green grasses aroma. Mild flavor of sour, very little sweetness to this one, but tastes very mild and hides the liquor in it well.

May 24, 2009 11.2oz bottle from bevmo. Pours a deep swampy copper color with and off white head that left some spotty lacing. Nose was sweet with candied tree fruits, candy sugar, light booze. Flavor was also quite sweet with caramel, toffee, and candied apricots.
Savvy1982 (303), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
May 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely dark chocolate brown head, with a brandy-ish hue. thick, rich, tan head with quite nice lacing. Aromas of cigar box, vanilla. Palate is rum and raisin, figs and dates, mild, rich coffee as well. with some chocolate. It’s a bit boozy as it warms, which is unfortunate. Finish is long, and warming, with some noticable alcohol.
