Aug 21, 2008 Bottle (best before 2014): pours a dark reddish-brown with a frothy light tan head, aroma of cherry, caramel and malt, (kind of a Belgian beer aroma), taste is malty, chocolate, a bit of the alcohol and spices, leaves a bit of a watery feel in the back of the throat.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours a beautiful black color with froathy tan head that dissapates over time. Aroma is sweet caramel and dark fruits with some desert spirit alcohol presence. Reminds me of a rum filled chocolate candy in a way. Flavor exceptionally good. Medium mouthfeel, nice dark fruit flavors with mild coriander and spice, mild roasted malts. Can’t tell the 8% at all. One of the truely great beers.
