Jul 18, 2007 Updated: Nov 17, 2007Deep mahogany brown with a creamy, lingering head. Nose is mostly dark and dried fruit. Plums, rasins and figs. Subtle hints of chocolate, dry red wine, brandy, and spice. Medium to full bodied with a surprisingly mild draw and a nice dry finish. Excellent.

Nov 25, 2007 Very similar to the 10 but the lower abv mactually makes it a bit smoother. The maltiness is more pronounced because of this. After the 10 his is my favorite beer ever.

Apr 6, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. My written description is probably unworthy of this great beer, but here goes.It poured a mahogany brown, with no head. I noticed hints of fruit, belgian hops, and a bit of alcohol in the nose. What I tasted was a delicious blend of caramel, fruit, and hops that is marvelously carbonated.It ends with a delicious smooth sweet finish. This is a great beer, and definitely one of my favorites.

Aug 10, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2009Pours dark with a thick white head. Aroma is ripen dark fruits and malts with a little bit of yeast. This beer goes down super smooth with a fruity taste, grapes stand out. It finishes with a caramel-chocolate taste. This is truely a great beer and one for anyone to try.

Aug 28, 2008 Had this beer many times, this stuff just keeps amazing me. Pours very deep dark brown, like dark chocolate, with a creamy beige head. Aroma is imo the only "flaw", it could have been stronger. Subtle aroma of dark fruits, mostly malts and dark chocolate, some alcohol. Flavour is soft, malts, lots of dark chocolate, some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. The beauty of this beer is that you don’t have to work your way through a load of sugary sweetness like with so many other dark strong ales. Soft and creamy mouthfeel, nice lingering finish, full bodied.
