Impressive beer. Had it with my brother - also a fan of this beer. AVERY - please do more like this !!

Murky brown/black with off-white head. Fruity, roasted scents come off the brew, featuring dark currant, raisin, fig aromas combined with roasted malty touches of burnt mocha and muted spice scents, licorice. Fairly well hopped for such a dark brew, and the taste mirrors the aromas, while emphasizing the roasted drying, coffee-like aspects. The alcohol is detectable and presents a warming of the thoat as it is imbibed. Different, but worth trying

Pours a thick dark brown with a thick creamy beige head. The aroma is sweet, fruity (citrus), caramel, molasses, dark sugars. The flavor has a charred character, alcohol, sweet, caramel, dark cocoa, earthy, butterscotch finish, the flavors are hard to describe. The palate is nice, full and smooth.

other then a really good appearance this beer was rather mediocre. Poured a nice brown opaque hue with a tan head which lasted forever. Aroma was of mild caramel notes and some hops. flavor was similar. Alcohol seemed to be well hidden.

Bottle (650ml) shared with tupalev, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of jerc & mabel. Pours a murky deep ruby with an average size foamy somewhat-lasting tan head. Aroma of green hops, toasted malt, caramel, some alcohol and fruit. Flavour’s a little boozy with a weird but likable spicy/hoppy/sweet taste -- it’s hard for me to describe. Medium bodied. Not awesome but it is interesting and I did quite enjoy it.
