Pours a Dark brown, with a small light tan head. Smells of sweet dark fruits, dark malts, a little candy sugar, and vanilla notes. The flavor was much of the same. I got a decent little alcohol burn throughout with the dark sweet fruits and a touch of candy sugar attempting to balance it out. A little syrupy on the palate, with a good amount of heat. Very flavorful brew. Very nice drinking quad.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Hopscotch wtih this rare beauty. Nice brown pour wtih a tan head. Smells of alcohol, yeast, tart fruit, caramel malt and some vanilla notes. Nice beer with flavors of dark fruit, syrup, brown sugar, chocolate, caramel and just damn good. MMMM

C&PLYFOTD: Bottle, courtesy hopscotch. Dark red brown pour, creamy full amount of lacing, head. Nose is slightly tart with some raspberries, cherries, massive oak notes and caramel, and slight chocolate. Rich and full of delicious dark fruits and creamy chocolate flavors, sweet, brown sugar, molasses. Full-bodied, balanced well, held up quite well. Yummy.

GABF 2008 at Dr. Bill’s tasting. Dark pour with tan head. Nose of dark fruits, figs, chocolate and candy sugar. Flavor is the same, with a good thickness on the palate.

Sample at O-town throwdown ’09 pours dark brown with beige head. Aroma is strong with candi sugar, dark fruits. Taste, candi sugar, dark fruits; possibly figs/prunes, chocolate malts. Overall palate is filled with the combination of malts, sugar and thickness of the fruits. Wow that beer is just insanely good, even after a few years on it.

750 ml bottle shared at Woodshop tasting. Lots of dark fruit and sweet bread off his brown pour with smallish head. Flavors were more dark fruit and sugar candy. Pretty good stuff.

750ml, big thanks to Kan for sharing this rare gem. pours hazy prune color with biege head. nose of prunes, grapes, yeasty. flavors are grapey, dark candy sugar, plums. med body. still tasty and holding up fine.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2009 750ml bottle...pours a dark raisin brown with an thin off-white head.... aroma of sweet candied sugar, dark fruit, and mild spices.....flavor-wise this has very held up much to the aging. dark fruit raisin and juicy fruit (not the gum). with heavy carbonation.

Outstanding! Pours dark ruddy brown with a finger thick tan head. Nose and flavor of caramel, toffee, dried fruits and just tons sweetness. But not cloying, sticky sweetness. More like cocoa. Very little sign of the 11.5%. Creamy on the palate.

Pours dark amber brown, caramel, dark fruits, spices, little yeasty, slight bannana.
