A dark cloudy brown with about an inch of tan head that leaves a little lace clinging to the glass.
Smelled of malts and raisins and something sweet... Maple?
The malts and maple(?) hit the mouth immediatley, followed by the raisins. Not a bad taste at all.
Leaves the mouth a little dry, but otherwise feels great on the palate.
I certainly could have drank another, but it wasn’t an overwhelming urge or anything.
Also, just as an aside; I really dug on the packaging of this one.
Serving type: bottle

Jul 26, 2008 Appearance: Pours a rich, brown body with a small, creamy-looking, white head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of toasted biscuits, caramel, a bowlful of candy, and a rather juicy fruitiness.
Taste: Sweet toasty, even bready maltiness with a taste of caramel. Dark candi sugar sweetness present. There’s even a little bit of chocolate. Again, it has a prevailing fruitiness with flavors of lightly tart cherries and raisins. Hint of spice. Finishes sweet and cakey with a definite warming alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation that’s a bit prickly.
Drinkability: Fairly enjoyable. Another delightful member of the Delirium Family.

Jul 22, 2008 33 cl bottle. Pours clear, brown with cherry hues and a light khaki head, two fingers in the Tremens glass, dissipating to a half a finger. Nose is fruity, cherry and raisin, slight clove and allspice with a touch of alcohol. Taste is sweet caramel with raisin and cherry, with spicy notes of clove and coriander. Dry finish with some hop bitterness that’s overtaken by alcohol flavor and heat, the latter of which lingers well into the after. Decent BSA.

Jul 18, 2008 Pours dark brown, with a thick head and a big fruity aroma. Flavor is sweet malts in the front, raisins in the middle and a bit of a lingering finish. Hardly any hop profile. A definite one to pick up.

Jul 17, 2008 Had this beer a couple years ago, and I can’t believe I forgot to rate it then. This is a very good beer; darker than the tremens and has a flavor to accompany the shade of the beer. It tastes strongly of dark fruits and nuts, with a hint of yeast. I really enjoyed this beer, and I have another in my hand as I type this.
