Oct 1, 2007 22oz bottle, courtesy of wetherel for no good reason. Thanks, John!! Pours a murky, dark cherry-cola color; light tan head with great lacing. Dried dark fruits and cola in the aroma; slightly boozy with some brown sugar. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: spritzy carbonation at the front of the tongue, followed by warm cola and brown sugar notes; solid chewy malt presence with minimal oxidation; dried dark fruits (blackberries, currants) appear at mid-palate. Slightly hot, but nothing significant. Lengthy, cola and dried fruit finish; just a touch of dry caramel.

Oct 29, 2006 From a 22oz Bottle. Deep brown pour with a light ruby tinge and a thin, off-white head. Dark fruity, raisiny perfumes waft from my glass, giving this a bit of a barleywine-like nose. Some softer strawberry fruits as well. The bouquet is quite heavy on the dark fruit malt characters, but the yeast character doesn’t strike me as being too spicy or strong in presence. Rich, full bodied mouthfeel thats borderline syrupy and with a mild, but healthy carbonation level. More rich raisin and prune malty characters come through on the palate, along with a touch of chocolate.

Nov 27, 2008 22 oz bottle. Dark brown with a pocked tan head. Nose is brown sugar, raisin, banana and clove. Medium body with a sharp tang. Taste doesn’t quite deliver on the nose. Cane sugar, hints of molasses, with emerging sour dark fruits. Chalky, bitter finish.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of cmr1517...pour a cloudy amber color with no head. Biscuity malts, caramel, clove and dark fruits are abundant in the nose along with...wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...cardboard. Shocking isn’t it...this was definitely oxidized a bit but in all honesty it didn’t really detract that much in overall complexity and drinkability. Medium bodied, somewhat sticky. Flavors of caramel, cloves, dark fruits and had some grassy notes. Ultimately a very good brew that I wish I could have had during its prime.
