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.

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.

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.
