AR (417), Georgia, USA Nov 22, 2006 Dark, thick, and hazy. Fruity taste with hints of prunes/raisins. Malty, smooth and palatable. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Nov 21, 2006 Deep dark amber with a thousands of chunks floating around it. It looks like cheetah skin or a snow globe when shake it up. There are some enormous chunks I can see now. I am only taking a couple sips here. Smell of malt, caramel, some hops, almonds, fruit and alcohol. Taste of rotten fruit, hops, malt, gas and alcohol. Carbonation was there and a little bitter at the end. Boutip (2335), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Nov 20, 2006 Bottle: Poured a dark color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma is quite sweet with some candi sugar and plenty of malt. Taste is also a well enough balanced mix of candi sugar, caramel and big malt with some limited yeast characteristics. Body is a bit too watery for the style but the alcohol is well hidden. LLee (20), Brandon, Mississippi, USA Nov 15, 2006 Bottle, Aroma/Flavor, white grapes, like a good dry German white wine, Appearance, dark with a off white head, didn’t last long, Palate, sour and very carbonated, like a sparkling wine, but not as sweet. Have another bottle, may revise "rating" later... henry3r (586), Wichita, Kansas, USA Nov 15, 2006 The 11.2 ounce bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown beverage with a small but smooth creamy head that was mostly diminishing but that left good lacing on the glass. Pour carefully however, this is bottle conditioned. The aroma offers a hint of burnt caramel from almost a foot away. Upon closer examination, there are also notes of dates, raisins, prunes - dried dark fruits. There is also a hint of old leather in the background. The body is full and inviting with lively carbonation and a smooth, wet texture. The flavor starts off sweet but quickly shows a sharp tangy bite at the front of the tongue. The finish is medium-long with the tangy bite lasting throughout. There is also a nice warmth that builds in the chest through the finish. Nice. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Nov 14, 2006 that pink elephant, a cool bottle gets me again!! medium thick head...grapes,slight sherry,choc,dust,choc cocoa nesquick,sweet slight spice.......some fruit and grape choc in muddled fruit taste....a good brew....su..su....sussudio patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Nov 4, 2006 750ml bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, fluffy head. It smells of malts and yeast. The flavor is caramel malts, yeast, and a hint of dark fruit. It’s easy to drink for 9% with the ABV just showing up a little in the finish. It’s pretty good, but honestly I was hoping for more. angolajones (14), Angola, Indiana, USA Nov 3, 2006 I bought numerous beers and this was one of them. For the price and expectations, I was disappointed. This is better than a domestic but there are many better beers out there than to spend the money for this one.
