joekinty (208), rockledge, Florida, USA Jun 1, 2008 thanks to the guys at the orlando throwdown Dark dry fruit flavor with brandy notes slight alchohol in the nose. what I founf noce about this one is the aroma and the flavor match very well I really enjoyed this one pantanap (749), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 1, 2008 bottle...thanks to krausenjockey... poured a transparent reddish brown with a thin off-white head....aromas of sweet dark fruit and caramel.....flavors dominated by dark fruits but was a little overly sweet and sugary which sticks around for a little too long. just a little too cloyingly sweet for me to enjoy more. hopdog (4569), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 31, 2007 12oz bottle. Poured a deeper orangish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of fruitiness, yeasty, musty, dark fruits, and caramel. Tastes of dark fruits (lots of raisins and prunes), caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. Medium alcohol burn in the finish. Light lacing left on the glass. drewbeerme (1793), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2007 12oz bottle. thanks pantanap for this. pours clear red with white head. nose of sugary, vanilla, toffee. flavor is sweet, toffee, red and dark fruits. too thin and cloyingly sweet. alcohol is very well hidden though. puzzl (1732), New York, New York, USA Dec 19, 2007 Unlabeled bottle from Aspidites. Kind of juicy, old, oxidized flavor, yeasty but a little hot. Vegetal. Good bready notes in the aroma and decent complexity. Really just a bit too big for me, though. I think if this were toned down a fair bit it would be great.
