Feb 3, 2009 Draught at TND: Faint aroma of yeast, currants, slight dark ripe fruits, and slight sugar. There was really very little scent; I even had others smell it. Poured deep amber/medium brown in color with a small, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout, especially around the edges. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of caramel, slight smoke, slight bacon, malts, slight toffee, slight nuts, and light candi sugar. Medium to full body. Sticky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Malty, sticky, slightly dry finish. Very drinkable. 9%ABV is well hidden.

Jan 17, 2009 Deep ruby coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, cherries and some wheat. Medium-bodied; Nice tastes of light sweetness intertwined with maltiness along with some nutty flavours. Afterstaste shows more of the same, and a good yeastie flavour at the tail-end. Overall, a good beer - definitely worth trying if you can find it. I sampled this 375 mL (split) bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 22 December 2006.
