Jul 30, 2008 Light chocolate brown pour and a soft brown/tan foamy head. Aroma is a deep dry fruit with just a touch of sweetness wafting in as well. Was just a bit watery on the front of the palate. Mild fruity flavors (consistent with plum or raisin, but not overbearingly fruity) and a sweet malt flavor. Very clean finish. Excellent beer. The 10 is better, but the 8 is also an exceptional beer.

Jul 29, 2008 Pours a ruby-tinted brown. Smells of mottled berries with cocoa. Lots of malts in the taste accompanied by chocolate, along with lighter fruit accents. Definitely some alcohol hints, which just had to it’s complex character.

Jul 29, 2008 Bottle BB 05/09/12. Pours hazy brown-amber with thick lasting head. Very nice big aroma of flowers, fruit and bread. Slightly woody and nutty, roses, lilies, strawberry. Burnt sugar, soapy perfume. Very nice!
Flavor is medium big with high carbonation and malty, fruity sweetness. Chocolate, hazelnuts, strawberry and warming alcohol. A hint of pineapple. Finally some bitterness from alcohol and yeast. This is simply put a very great beer.
