May 14, 2008 Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours deep gold to copper with off white head. The aroma is big sweet fruitiness of prunes, sugar malt sweetness, sweet tart candy and raisins. It has a light and dry taste containing mild fruity sweetness mixed with smooth fruit tartness. I get prunes, raisins, apples and plums all mixing around in there and playing together nice. Yum.
