The pour is dark drown, with a large tan head that recedes slowly. The nose is complex, with aromas of dark dried fruits, yeast, malt , and a slightly vinous touch. The flavor is sweet and well balanced hiding its alcohol to a nice warming finish. Great stuff!

Oct 12, 2008 This is a nice beer. A little fancy for my taste. Definitely a sipping beer. Pours a nice brown with a off white head. You can definitely taste the alcohol in this one.

Oct 12, 2008 Dark Brown color with a nice head. Fruity aroma, starts with an apple flavor and as the bottle is emptied turns more to a raisin flavor. It’s good, but not my favorite.

Oct 12, 2008 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 Oct 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with toasted grain, lots of dark fruit, prunes, raisins and hints of herbs. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, dark rye bread, raisins, prunes and brown sugar. Full bodied, sweet, with medium bitterness. Emphasis is on the malt and it succeeds quite well in not being cloying despite the loads of sweet malt. Very nice beer.

Oct 10, 2008 Great label...pours dark copper color with big off white head, great head retention, aroma is mostly yeast and alcohol, medium mouthful with flavors of dark fruits, oak, chocolate mousse, good aftertaste that isn’t overpowering...a masterful balance and really satisfying drink

Oct 9, 2008 Deep amber beer with medium lasting white head. Spices, malt and bread lead to smooth finish. Rather thin-bodied. Beaten easily by Rocheforte Trappiste 10. Disappointing.
