3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A murky amber brownish hue with a thin beige head with some lacing on the pour. Aroma of caramel malt, yeast, and a nice fruity bouquet, plums, dates, raisins. Taste is sweet caramel malt, yeasty, with a nice fruity esters, white plums, figs, raisins. Palate is a medium to full body with a slightly creamy texture and mild carbonation. Finish is sweet caramel malt, yeast, fruity, plums, figs with some bitterness for balance and slight lingering alcohol ending. Overall a good, tasty and quite enjoyable brew.

750 mL cobalt bottle. Pours a hazy clay orange with little carbonation and very small wisp of off white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity, with notes of pomegranate, plum, cherry, and raisin; there is also a toasted malt quality with a very slight woody edge. The flavor is malty with some raisin and apple notes. Not quite as fruity as the nose. The finish is spritzy with a slight lemon and herb tone. Decent beer, but not as subtle as I was hoping.

(750ml bottle thanks to ericandersnavy) cloudy orange with a tan film of bubbles. Nose of sweet grain, honey, a tinge of wine grapes, cola root. The nose is quite complex. Taste of honey, sweet grain, pretty straightforward taste. Soft carbonation, medium-to-light body.

9/3/10. Thanks jtclockwork! Sweet, almost funky aroma with some spices and perfume. Interesting. A hint of bitter butterscotch as well. The flavor is sweet malts with a spicy bitter, almost rye-like beer. A hint of black tea as well. Hmmm...
