This brew was on-tap at Stone on 5/13/08 as well, so I am a little confused. Anyway, I’m glad WeeHeavySD added it. Pours cloudy brown with an off-white head, no lace. Smells woody and malty and sweet like wine barrels? It’s raisins, I guess. Tastes malty sweet, slightly woody, whiskey and boozey on the finish. There is a bit of fruitiness as well, grapes and plums I thought, but I guess it’s raisins. Medium body, fizzy carbonation. I like the flavor, although weird.

Cask at Hamilton’s, the very last dregs shared with Darkelf. Pours reddish brown with a tan head. Nose is sharp and unappealing. Taste was syrupy. I hate to give a new beer a low rating but this was not my bag.
