341 ml bottle via trade with luiss - Pours a dark amber color with a thin off white head that faded quickly. Very little carbonation. Aroma of apple and pear. Flavor is fruit and toffee. Palate is slightly dry. Medium to full body. Alcohol isn’t over bearing. Good beer. Thanks Luis.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 16/20
341mL bottle from HogTownHarry, no date. Pours a hazy orange brown with a tiny beige head. Aromas of port and tobacco up front, sour cherries, light smoke, molasses and prunes. Flavor is again dominant with port characteristics, a tobacco boozy quality. Other flavors follow much the same as the aroma. Bone dry alcoholic finish with a bit of roasted malt chalkiness. This is a very nice beer overall, though the alcohol does distract a little more than I would have liked in the taste. Medium to full bodied, though leaning a little more towards medium due to the high ABV, , moderate carbonation. Reminds me somewhat of HOTD Adam, but not quite as good.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
341ml bottle thanks to MartinT. Poured into a tulip glass. Pours a brownish black with s small head that quickly dissapates into small lacing. Aroma is strong with raison, sherry-ish cherry, some metal one may even say. But mainly I would say its a pruney alcohol. Taste is a bit metallic, with that alcohol pruneness present. A rather thin body, creating a watery mouthfeel. Low bitterness and a slightly less than moderate carbonation. A rather simplistic beer actually with not much going for it except its strong, canadian, and hard to come by. But sometimes thats all it takes.
