May 13, 2008 Bubble gun yeast nose. Dark ruby brown, small beige head, cloudy, average lacing. Heavy carbonation, malty, spice, smoke. Expected more fruits in the flavor.

May 5, 2008 25oz bottle. Chestnut brown pour with little head, spritzy bubbles, almost coke-like. At first, this seemed like some kind of bock, it was really malty and smoky, lacked the spiciness I expected., Grew on me as the glass wore thin. Really solid, just heavy on the malt and had a kind of smoked, toasted character. Fruits like figs, dates, and bananas shined throughout. I would have like a creamier mouthfeel.

Apr 25, 2008 Updated: May 7, 2008Bottle. Pours a orange brown with very little head. Great aroma of dried fruits - figs, raisins and a bit of smoke that fades to banana as beer warms. Quite a bit of carbonation (which came as a surprise due to the lack of a head). Flavor has faint notes of dried fruits, along with a bit of molasses. It gets better as it warms and the flavors come out as the caronation subsides. Nice alcohol presence, warming. Lightly bitter finish.
