appearance of a coke, dark brown but the head is creamy tan and never fades away. aroma is of apples and bourbon. taste is excellent, with hints of yeast, tons of spices, and hints of apple and banana. aftertaste holds the spicyness and is nice and sweet. took me awhile to get to this, and i’m not disappointed.

Dec 1, 2008 Dark chestnut and ruby pour. The head was almost tan. It was thick and rocky. Giving way slowly and producing nice lacing. The aroma was malt, toffee, nut raisin, chocolate, yeast and earth. The flavor was tart raisin, chocolate, malt and toffee. Some yeast too. Pleasant warming alcohol. Terrific mouthfeel. World Class.

does not count  Nov 30, 2008 This is the beer that got me into beer geekdom! A fantastic malty beer with lots of dark fruit flavors and aromas present. Poured this one into my Chimay goblet, and let it oxidize slightly to give off more complexity to the layers of flavor. Some nice ripe cherries, currants, plum, and a bit of spice hidden in there. At 10% this 750ml bottle is an excellent treat to be savored!
