Sep 12, 2008 (Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy reddish dark brown color with almost no head. Strongly malty, sweetish aroma with figs and cloves. Flavor of sweetish dried fruit, figs, plums, etc. with a tiny hint of alcohol. Medium to full body with almost no carbonation. A sweet, but quite drinkable ale.

Aug 27, 2008 22 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). One of my last bottles of the Iowa stash. Broken open in honor of the girlfriend’s brother’s bachelor party. Pours a dark brownish hazed beauty of a pour with a decent tan head. Aromas are sweet, yeasty with some notes of apple must and pear. Flavors are much different, bordering on darker chocolate malts and dark fruitiness, making this beer special. Smooth yet full bodied, leaving me sad I probably won’t see this brew ever again. A top notch annual that aged very well. Kudos to John’s. Cheers!
