Medium brown in color. Smells of chocolate, molasses and spices. Dark fruit tastes with spices. Alcohol content well hidden. Another long time favorite of mine (years ago I used to have a bottle of St. Sixtus as my night cap beer on the weekend). 8 5 9 4 19
Tasted best before 2005 on 4/2/2006. This aroma was awesome. Plums and raisins with breadiness. Tastes of the same. This was by far one of the best aged, if not best, beers in a long time. Increased #s.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a lingering tan head. Smells of raisins, figs, and caramel. As the temperature rises every sip changes. The closest things to a Westy 12.

Oct 7, 2008 Glory in a glass. Deep brown dark colour with a speckled tan head. Smell of rum, licorice, coffee, toffee, chocolate mousse. Sipping this is like sucking on angel’s wings...a bounty of desireable tastes just dancing on the tongue; flavours abounding on the palate like some sort of wildflower blooming and bursting. Extremely well balanced and the 10.5% alcohol is felt with a slight burn (aaahhhh) but is very well concealed amongst the rum, oak, malted barley, maple, figs, candied apple, raisins, vanilla, the list goes on and on. I like the jolly parson label as well. Buy or die!

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle from Pub Italia. Pours a dark brown with a massive and dense off-white head. Aroma mainly of dark fruits (prunes, figs), caramel and some alcohol. The flavour and mouthfeel are creamy with strong notes of brown sugar, dark fruits, caramel, molasses, raisons and chocolate. This is the best beer I have ever had! Try it.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a large head, excellent lacing, and dark brown color. Aromas of molasses, caramel, lime, and plum. Creamy texture with a nearly perfect flavor. Definitely a keeper and will be purchasing this beer again!
