May 16, 2009 Pours up amber with slight haze and thin tan head. The moderately strong aroma emits cherries, plums, prunes and figs as well as a thin layer of malts and caramel. The taste is full of dark fruity esteryness. It starts with a brief pulse of malt and caramel sweetness and quickly becomes figs, cherries and ripe plums. By midway a mild sense of booze is noticed in conjunction with a faint black pepperyness. The rich cherry – plum sweetness masks the black pepper and booze pretty well. It finishes with plenty of lingering dark fruitiness. It may have fermented a bit too warm from what I can tell.
