Had hints of molasses and raisin/prune. The taste had a lot more of the molasses and prune taste. Definitely a unique beer. The palate was smooth and full. Not as impressed as i expected.

Very tranquil looking. Abundant flavors: molasses, roasted malt, vanilla and coriander. Chewy palate. Wowzers! I believe there are gum drop tones… interesting. Finish is slightly sour with notes of cherry. Alcohol more present as beer warms. Also noted, tongue numbing. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 7, 2006 12 OZ bottle via footbalm (thanks eric!). Pours a clear dark brown with a large beige head.Aroma is butterscotch, vanilla, band aid, alcohol.Tastes just like it smells and the bandaid comes through strong in the aftertaste. Tastes like old stale boiled colliflower...Thin body. Crappy beer....maybe it is the coriander that ruins it for me? sunevdj (1785), Copenhagen OE, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 30, 2006 Pours to a dark oily brown, wit hints of red. Had a very thin off-white head that left virtually no lacing. Nice strong aroma of malty dark fruit, with undertones of chocolate and toffee, with hints of spices. Taste was definitely more of the same found in the aroma, though the alcohol was more pronounced as the beer warmed. Finish was an interesting mix of sweet and dry. I really enjoyed this beer, although it actually reminded me somewhat of a barley wine.
