GregClow (2350), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 8, 2008 Bottle shared with tupalev, blankboy, HogTownHarry & jerc - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Batch #67334. Hazy orangish-red with a good sized slightly off-white head. Aroma is sweet and warm, quite malty, a bit candyish. Medium bodied. Nice flavour - sweet caramel, tingly spice, a bit of yeast, some alcohol warmth but not overpowering. A bit too sweet for everyday, but still pretty solid.

Pours a rich caramel color with a small beige head. Smell is belgian yeast, with light spicing, and some candi sugar. Taste is very mild, and a bit yeasty with more dark raisiny, cand sugar sweetness. Nice dark fruit, and spice flavor, and is pretty drinkable, even if it is not the most amazing quad. badlizard (1525), San Diego, California, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle from Holiday. Brown with a fizzy tan head. Sweet brown sugar, raisin, and fig maybe, aroma and taste. Decent. BOLTZ7555 (528), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 6, 2008 Bottle acquired via trade with beastifan2k...Eugene, thanks again!!! Rusty penny pour with a sandy brown head. Spicy, malty brew that includes touches of brown sugar, raisin, molasses, and cherry skins. Medium consistency; not extremely complex but highly drinkable (and yes, I know it’s 10.5% ABV...can definitely get you in trouble). Very tasty!!! biz82 (1325), austin, Texas, USA Oct 6, 2008 Hazy light brown with a loose auburn head. Banana, raisin, cocoa and tart apple aroma. Sweet, full bodied and well carbonated, making for a rich palate. Fruity malt flavor with plum and pomegranate. Quite nice. tompete (63), Burlington, Iowa, USA Oct 5, 2008 Clear white fast disappearing head. Clear red ruby with a hint of orange. Malty nose with just a little hops. Flavors of caramel candy, light booze and a dry almost sour finish. Light to medium creamy body.
