Poured a dark brown with a moderately sized head. I could smell the malts as it poured out of the bottle. The flavor was dominated by brown sugar and carmel flavors. Just a little bit of bitterness in the beer, but went down very smooth. I was very surprised when I saw the alcohol content was whoppin 9 percent. Great brew from Anderson.

Jul 21, 2008 Raisiny vinous nose, some powdered chocolate notes. Deep, deep onyx red color, medium frothy head with nice lacing. Brown sugar rum raisin sweetness, slight bitter notes--very smooth. Creamy body, subtle smooth carbonation, horehound candy finish. A very nice beer, delicate and complex, alcohol is completely masked.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark dirty red with not much head. The aroma was sweet dried fruit. The flavor had hints of yeast, banana, spice and sweet fruits. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this beer.

Jul 2, 2008 Poured from 22oz bottle a dark reddish-brown with a thin tan head and little carbonation. Aromas of sweet candy, raisins, toffee, banana, and yeast. Flavor is over-ripe banana, bubblegum, some spicey clove, plus somewhat of an alcohol vapor that turns a bit astringent at the end. Palate is rather dry given the sweet aroma and has a spicy tingle that dominates throughout. This beer was OK, but I was hoping for more. It seems a little bland for a double. There needs to be more depth to it IMHO.

Jun 30, 2008 22oz’er from BTB in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark rich brown-chestnut body with a healthy medium-sized off-white head. Yeasty, banana-clove, brown sugar, chocolate, dark fruit, slightly metallic nose. Sweet plums and raisins lingers on the tongue. Spicy and carmelly. Quite unique yet somewhat familiar. Very nice with chocolate.
