| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2008 Bottle. Deep brown with red tint. Lovely aromatic bouquet: musk, dandelion, wildflowers galore, witch’s herbs, and a thick slab of Black Forest cake hold the icing--all black cherries and chocolate and no fluff. Nice. Also, nose and mouth offer up Viennese pastry. Mouthfeel is thin in this bottle--too bad! Flavors are round, smooth. Sweet-tart, bold yet understated. More black forest cake and Viennese pastry. Loads of homemade mincemeat!! made with raisin, dates, allspice, walnut, cola, sasparilla, and nutmeg. Totally pleasant, fulfilling brew.
