Mar 11, 2005 Very complex beer fit for long aging. Very refines palate with extremely good depth. Nice toast malts sweet and round on the palate. plums, dates raisins and molasses. Lingering sweet candy finish with some oak and brandy aspects very warming, great with Billy Holiday.

Jan 8, 2005 Pours with a dark reddish-brown body with a thin head and little lacing. The aroma and flavor are both sweet and malty with nice caramel and candy sugar notes, and a little bitterness. Full bodied, smooth and oily.

Jan 7, 2005 A seriously well crafted beer is definately being neglected here. I hadn’t even heard of the beer until Mark broke it out at the recent SoCal tasting. Mark also brought a bottle of Fantome Flop to share. What a great guy Mark is. Thank you. Deep red. Aromatics of chocolate and pit fruit. Hints of candied gummy fruits, dark fruits, maple, caramel and chocolate.

Jan 6, 2005 2002 bottle: Quite an interesting beer and tastes much older than it actually is, which is nice. Ity poured a sinister reddish purple with a halo of suds. Deep malty aroma showing sophisticated maturity and smokey wood. Nice aged malt and ash flavors...A little less complex in flavor than expected from the aroma...but at 2 years old, it seems to be ahead of its time regardless.

Jan 26, 2003 On tap at the 2003 Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival. This is a huge lager. Very dark color with a very alcoholic dark sweet plum nose. Lots of sherry notes in the flavor with a tart sweetness. Definitely a sipping beer with lots of raisin, plum and dark brown sugar. Very interesting beer and worth trying.
