Jun 15, 2008 Appearance: Pours a rather dark, reddish-brown body with a foamy, off-white head.
Smell: Spicy, sweet-smelling aroma of rum-soaked spice cake, orange zest, random berries, and dark caramel malts.
Taste: Sweet, sugary dark malts with well-blended tastes of caramel, milk chocolate, and vanilla. Punchy, tangy fruit character throughout. Mild bitterness. Dash of white pepper. Very, very slight sour hint. Touch of alcohol near the end. Fruity, fizzy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Very tasty. I’d been quite some time, years in fact, since I’d last had one of these. I oughta be ashamed of myself.

Jun 14, 2008 Lots of aromas coming out from the bottle since you open it. Very dark colored with red brights when seen to the light. Thick head that vanishes into a persistent thin layer. Tastes like roasted malt, some dark fruits but not sweet. Some alcohol, but still smooth. More carbonation than needed, but nothing serious. Nice aftertaste persists for a while. A good one.

Jun 11, 2008 Ruddy brown with a substantial, but short-lived head. Aroma dominated by dried fruits and yeast. Taste profile has boatloads of raisin, cane sugar, and roasted malt. Lingering alcohol burn, but nothing suggesting the huge ABV.

Jun 8, 2008 OK, the cork must have been bad on mine. Almost no head at all, and very undercarbonated. Either that or the yeast didn’t take the priming sugar.
Dark brown with no head. Aroma is dark fruit (dates and figs and raisins), some apple, and roast malt. Flavor is molasses, with burnt notes, a hint of alcohol warmth at the finish.
Too bad this slipped through quality control or I might have rated it quite highly! Will have to taste it again, given the previous rave reviews. I think I will write a strongly worded email to their American distributor and try to get myself a freebie.

Jun 8, 2008 Dark brown colored pour with medium sized head. Floral, sweet, citrusy aroma. Sweet vanilla, fruity, carbonated finish. I liked this.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Huge head. Flavor of port, roasted malt, and alchohol. Flavor gets more and more complex as it warms. Very nice.
