Dec 10, 2008 Muddy brown pour with a small tan head. Lots of sweet, syrupy dark fruit aroma with some faint brandy, cocoa, and banana esters. Malt dominant flavor with plentiful dark fruit, bread, spice, and a bit of an off-putting vegetal finish. Oily-medium full body. The bad vegetal finish ruins this beer for me when it could have been much better. Judging from some of the other reviews though it may simply be a bad bottle.

Dec 4, 2008 Pours an opaque purplish brown with small light tan head and small floaties. Aroma is light raisin and plum and a malty sweetness. Flavor is hugely malty and improves greatly as it warms. Terrific medium-full velvety body.

Nov 27, 2008 courtesy of gillard.
Pours copper with beige head.
Aroma of oak without the usual Tommy Knocker maple flavors.
Taste is fruity (banana bread) with spices (almost peppery) and oak.
Mouthfeel and after taste have this lingering spiciness.

Nov 18, 2008 Nice chocolate head and quick carbonation release. Lots of nice malt and near fruit flavors. Hops were not only minor, but virtually non-existant, and the malt was overly sweet. Don’t know if I had a bad batch or if I’ve been away from a real malt heavy beer too long. I can only drink one of these in a sitting.
