May 3, 2009 Appearance: Pours a dark auburn with a pin stripe of white froth.
Aroma: Perfume, mint chocolate, clove, some bread notes, as well as dark fruit notes.
Taste: Booze, bready malt, cherry, wood, dark rum. There is a stream of bitter hops in the background of all mentioned.
Mouthfeel: Puckering and warm like a bold red wine.
Overall: An amazing, complex beer, that should age terrifically.

May 1, 2009 This 750 mil c&c bottle set me back $16.49 at BevMo in Sacramento. It poured a cloudy orange-brown with an off-white head and good lacing. Nose of rich malts and ripe fruit. Somewhat sticky and alcoholic mouthfeel, and lots of flavors with fruit, chocolate, and sugar. Long sweet mouthfeel. Good solid beer.

Apr 25, 2009 Bottle... Poured amber with a beige head. Herbal aroma. Nice alcohol presence with light fruits and a sweet acidity for balance. Noticeable hops and malts but everything was really well-balanced.

Apr 8, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pour tawny brown with a large tan head. Leaves some nice lace behind. The nose is a bit rummy with some dark fruit, herb notes, and an alcohol burn. Very nice flavors with some raisin/prune, a bit nutty, syrupy sugar, and some alcoholic notes. Med/full body and lots of carbonation. Long sweetish finish. Pretty damn tasty stuff here.

Mar 27, 2009 [750 mL bottle, batch 16] Pours a murky reddish amber with a light tan head that melts away to a ring. Aroma is quite sweet with a good deal of yeast (imparts some faint cocoa and banana notes), honey and caramel. Not as complex as I had hoped for, but fairly enjoyable nonetheless. Alcohol is still a little forward, but there is also yeast, malt towards the back end, red grape, and honey again. Good mouthfeel with a somewhat dry, long finish. Overall a very nice, drinkable beer, but it is a little hot, and not quite as complex as I was hoping for. ...After finishing the bottle, I am going to bump it one point, because I love the finish and it is so drinkable.

Mar 22, 2009 Tap at Sunset Grill. Aroma of cherries and other fruits. Flavor of cherries to me, slight alcohol undertones. Really smooth, probably would have enjoyed it either more if I was more of a cherry fan.
