(bottle dated 7/00) Hazy red with beige head (plenty of head despite age). Aroma is sweet, caramel, rich and sticky, vanilla, raisin, light chocolate. Taste is rich, malty, moderately sweet, caramel, raisin, some chocolate, light roasty. Full bodied. Fantastic beer, definitely more along the lines on an English-style barleywine.

Jun 4, 2008 1/18/08 notes: on tap at Brewpub. Very dark color, like a stout. Sweet aroma that is faint. Features nutty brown flavor with some roasts and caramel. Classic DdC quality, as far as I’m concerned (very well balanced and flavorful). Hard to complain for this strong style, but perhaps a little indescript. Finishes very smooth and nutty.

Feb 19, 2008 Draught at Dieu du Ciel! Pours a deep ruby-brown with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice sweet aroma of caramel malt, fruit and hops. Big, sweet & fruity flavour along with hops, toasted caramel malt, alcohol and nuts -- quite tasty indeed. Alcohol’s present, but in a good way. Medium bodied. Wow, this was very good, and easy to drink -- another great one from DDC!

Feb 12, 2008 Draught (6 oz. sample) at Dieu du Ciel! Dark mahogany with a good sized white head. Aroma of chocolate malt and strong hops. Medium bodied. Great flavour, very big and well-balanced, with sweet caramel and toasted nuts off the top, and citric hops and some alcohol warmth in the finish. Yeah, this is some nice stuff.
