No doubt about it, this one’s got alcohol in it. It dominates the nose, an otherwise musty, candy and fruit sweet aroma. It pours a handsome, clear ruby color with a little brown around the edges. The light brown head, once proudly tall, collapses quite quickly. The taste is a sticky-sweet malt with anise, a variety of spices, and a healthy splash of alcohol. The finish is a dry, winey alcohol finish with a hit of herbal hop bitterness at the very end. More interesting than enjoyable...

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle from Johns Market Place in PDX--Poured a deep robust chestnut brown body with a minimal off-white head. Nutty, sweet, metallic, slightly cardboardy. I think this beer is a little off, but is still tasty and robust. Not bad.
