Gift from kiefdog, brown bottle, 11.2oz. This is a good Christmas beer. It is heavy on the brown sugar and molasses with some malty sweetness to it. It poured a dark amber color and it let little light through. Poured with off-white head with a decent amount of lace. It was very thick and warming, the way a Winter beer should be.

Jul 30, 2008 [07 bottle] Pours a dark chestnut brown with a fantastic creamy thick beige head. Great aroma, sweet and vinous, completely unique, vinegar, nutty, apples, varnish... it really does kinda smell like wood stain. Really nice stuff, flavors of dark malts, fruity, yeasty, light ripe banana, dates, yea I can taste some rum. Fruit cake is a good descriptor for this. Complex and balanced. Smooth fluffy carbonation, medium body... wow really nice.

Jul 28, 2008 Tap at the blind tiger. Poured a dark amber, with a very light nose, some belgian yeasts were noticeable.Flavor was fruity and yeasty with a nice sweet non cloying finish.
Could be more complex, but by no means bad.
