Mar 15, 2010 Bottle.
A - Deep, tawny brown. Large foamy off-white head with decent retention and decent lacing left.
S - Sweet bready malt and barley, Candied dark fruit and dark sugar.
T - Decent amount of sweet caramel malt and barley that mixes with dark fruit (date, plum, prune, cherry). Slight sweet chocolate taste. Alcohol is pretty apparent too, some spice too (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove). Taste somewhat like a cherry cola.
M - Medium close to full body with above average carbonation. Really creamy and smooth.
D - Probably a little too sweet and too much alcohol to be extremely drinkable. Combined with the ABV, drinkabiltiy isn’t great as far as drinking more than one a night, but would have again.
Notes: Would be a great dessert beer, especially on a cold winter night. Fairly sweet and alcoholic, with a good amount of warming.

Mar 14, 2010 Pours red/brown with a light brown consistent foam.
The aroma has toffee-sweetness, and you fell the alcohol too. Notes of brown sugar and vanilla.
The taste has a lot of malty sweetness, that also has notes of toffee. A hoppe ending and a after taste with the bitterness of the hops, but also a note of brown sugar.
The aroma is great, but the taste is far too sweet for my taste.
