Oct 18, 2008 Delicate beer, more delicate than I’m used to. Has a very homebrewed quality. Me and my girl thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a beer to be taken lightly, please sip with full enjoyment. I picked it up for 10.95 per 1pt9.4oz.

Oct 18, 2008 Carbonation swells up out of the bottle and thoroughly disturbing the chunky layer of sediment in the bottle--no chance for a clear beer here. Pours a dark mahogany brown with garnet highlights and a big, medium-loose tan head. Dark fruit esters in the aroma with caramel malt and spicy hops along with dates, spicebread, and some alcohol sweetness. More dates and dried figs in the flavor with a dark caramel and molasses maltiness. Additional general spicy hop flavors and fermentation esters. Though hints at some complexity here, it end result is not terriblycompelling. The flavors tend to die out in the light, somewhat watery mouthfeel. This impression is confusing, however, because of the high alcohol content--it is well hidden. Certainly a good beer, but doesn’t leave me with an impression of great depth.

Oct 18, 2008 Wow! THis is just outstanding. My friend told me this is one of the few beers he can find nothing wrong with, and now I know why. It was hard not giving this great beer a perfect score. It pours a murky redish light brown with an off white thick but dissapating head that leaves a mighty fine lace. The aroma is amazing. Bananas and prunes, and yet so much more that I can’t put my finger on. And the flavor...mmmmm...it’s fruity and balanced well with hops. Yeah, theyr’e there. The reasin that I gave a 9 for flavor is that the alcohol is quite detectable where I think it could be hidden a little more. The palate has a nice dry, lasting bitterness. With an alcohol sting. Overall I think it’s by far the best Abt ever.

Oct 18, 2008 Smells of caramel and fruit. Beautiful copper color. Largest head I think I have ever seen. A must try.

Oct 15, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy brown with yellowish thick fizzy head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, and malt. Strong flavor of yeast, dark fruit, malt, alcohol. Medium body with fizzy champaign like carbonation.....Overall, good stuff!

Oct 15, 2008 A perfected quad. Amazing. Very complex nose and palate. You’ve got raisins, dates, prunes, dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, light caramel...so much. Somewhat bitter rich palate. Just great.

Oct 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown/mocha color almost porter like in its appearance with a medium sized off-white head. Malt and spice flavors with a hint of bread. Light to medium bodied. Finished a little peppery. Quite enjoyable.
