Nose was apple cider, cherries, smoke, oak, sherry/rum. Flavor has some pronounced belgian fruit/spice yeast characters, more oak, apples, tobacco, overripe fruit. durhambeer (1214), Durham, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2008 Bottle with different label/bottle than that shown. Also said 11% on label, I think. This was interesting. Hazy light brown pour. Very strong and intense -- notes of tobacco, cherries; quite smoky, dusty, and peaty. Are those roasted hazelnuts I’m tasting? I really enjoyed this unique brew. amishcaravan (237), Winona, Minnesota, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 20, 2008 Pour is dark golden/amber with little to no head. Aroma is strong of fruit, alcohol, and malt. Flavor is wow, in your face alcohol with a lot of malt and toffee notes. I got a bit of yeast and belgian spice as well. Pretty good but dang strong. Finish is more alcohol. emacgee (1881), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Thanks for sharing Bob, durhambeer. Pours a hazy pale brown. The nose is nutty, sweet, spicy, some nutmeg and other sweet spice. Tastes very nutty, slightly smokey, cherry, tobacco, spices, strange flavor. the palate had a nice carbonation and it finished kind of smokey. JCB (1765), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Bottle shared by durhambeer - thanks, Bob! Bottle was different than the one in the picture; it was one of the shorties. A pleasantly frothed amber pour, slightly cloudy but with a lot of life in it. Delightful nose of dry nuts (which nuts? whose nuts?) with a trace of rum. Flavor combines these with sour apple and tobacco. Nice malty finish. AgentSteve (1375), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 14, 2008 Nice burnt caramel pour with no head. The nose is malt and a touch smoke. The flavor goes more fruity and brown sugar. Creamy on the palate. AmEricanbrew (1828), bankrupt socialistwelfare state, Washington DC, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 13, 2008 Murky amber with no head. Huge malty, yeast white bread aroma. Heavy syrupy mouthfeel with no carbonation. Big malty sweet boozy flavors with pit fruits, brown sugar, and white bread yeast. Very similar to a JW Harvest ale i had not too long ago.
