Aug 23, 2009 Pours a very dark and murky brown with one finger of creamy head.
Smells fruity, bananas and light berries.
Tastes similar to smell, very complex with those same hints of fruit and other light spices and bread.
Mouth is thin to medium bodied with high carbonation.
Not bad, not a westy 8 but not bad.

Aug 23, 2009 Pours copper/ruby with a large but rapidly diminishing head.
Aromas of vanilla, honey, cinnamon, pears, yeast. Very perfumy. Bready, sweet cookie dough. Alcohol is just noticeable as a pleasant, slightly spicy note. Later on figs/prunes and caramel become apparent. There is so much going on here!
Similar flavours, but not as much complexity. Alcohol is much more apparent, especially in the harsh finish.
Carbonation is too high for my liking, but otherwise mouthfeel is good.
Absolutely fantastic aroma, it’s a pity this didn’t follow through to the flavours.
