thornecb (1068), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Mar 6, 2008 Pours bright amber into a Trappist glass. Off-white micro head subsides to hug rim leaving spot lacing. Pit fruit and raisin aromas. Slick with upfront caramel and a lasting dry, prune finish.
shrubber85 (2511), Wallhalben, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany Sep 7, 2008 75cl bottle. Cherry, prune, and malt aroma - smells absolutely delicious. Cloudy dark brown-red color with explosively big tan head. Smooth lightly sweet raisin/cherry malt flavor with vinous notes. Expertly balanced - only the slightest hint of the alcohol level. A work of art - I really love the smoothness of this beer. SeanMacGC (40), Dublin, Ireland Sep 4, 2008 75cl bottle. Lustrous body on the pour, great to the eye with compact, durable enough head and some lacing., Luscious notes of plum, honey and hop to the nose. Generous mouthfeel, undertones of syrup and date, with a hint of sourness. Very decent ale. heemer77 (3667), Savannah, Missouri, USA Sep 2, 2008 Thanks for sharing, Gregis. The body was dark brown and rusty red with a kahki head. The aroma was sweet pears with some cinnamon. There were also some earthy mushroom and pancakes. The taste was sweet peaches with more cinnamon. There was also some sugary sweetness in the finish. Good, but not too impressive. Gregis (911), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Aug 27, 2008 Rating #900 Bottle purchased at Beertopia, in Omaha, NE. Pours a cloudy, muddy brown with a thin beige cap. The nose is of raisins, dark malt, light brown sugar and light fruity hops. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with tongue prickling carbonation and a "warm" finish. Round malt, raisins, prunes transition to a warm mildly dry finish. This is a very nice beer. I was left wanting more. csbosox (971), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Aug 24, 2008 750ml. Dark fruits, brown sugar, molasses, spicy hops, ginger snaps. Enjoyable.
