Jul 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to rciesla for sharing at brianK’s. Pours a deep ruby amber almsot woody with a thin head. Aroma is not as spicy as I expected compared to the other versions- good amoutn of woody winey character with a light medicinal flavor and aroma. Moslty sweet flavor - lots of thick deep sweet caramel malts, along with some fruity ester slike apricto, pear and apple, with some orange zest as well. Pretty smooth on the finish with a light tannin and wine like hint. Nice beer.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle shared with toncatcher. The guy is great for finding these good beers. Sweet aromas of cherry and wood. Flavors were similar with more sweet fruit and touches of oak barrel. Some yeasty finishing flavors and touches of sweet malty caramel. Such a good beer.
