Bottle. [thank you, skortila!]
Pours a deep red mahogany with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is fruity, with strawberries mixing in with caramel, toffee, raisins. Nice high carbonation. Flavour is surprisingly ’dark’, with chocolate dominating. There is some tones of dried, dark fruits as well, but the chocolate really stands out. Ver dry finish with chocolate and slight hoppiness. Some nuts and very powerful roasted caramel. Quite warming, but there is not much viniousness. But there is an unwanted metallic side to it that it just will not let go of.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours dark reddish brown with big beige head. Aromas are powerful- lots of raisin and prune, with molasses and honey. Tons of fruity esters- banana, raspberry, and apricot. Some clove, ginger, and nuttiness in there as well. Flavor is very sweet at first, with lots of dark fruit and brown sugar. Then turns slightly acidic with a sharp sense to it. Palate isn’t completely full- some smooth texture subsiding into some prickly and almost sharp acidity. Finish is quite dry. A decent offering, but nothing fantastic.
