very sweet fruity flavors with a fairly strong honied fruit note. The alcohol is quite evident, but not overwhelming at all.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Nice yellowish/amber color. Very carbonated initially out of the bottle. Definitely can taste the hints of honey and grape.

Oct 2, 2008 Very unimpressed with this expensive brew. The base tastes like a a very mediocre microbrew-- and not one that I am familiar with in the Dogfish Head inventory-- laced with a few novelty spices. Very unimaginative and lackluster beer. Disappointing.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Golden pour, with a bit of an amber hue, capped with a moderate-sized off-white head. Sweet aroma, with notes of white grape, honey, caramel and spice. Flavor leans to the sweet side as well, again with grape and honey. Complexity is added by saffron and notes of other spices. Unique beer; very drinkable.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a slighty hazy light golden brown with a small white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Taste is an interesting malty wine like taste, with some sweet honey taste like a mead as well. Interesting.

Oct 1, 2008 Well first I must admit that I am excited to try a beer that was based on the residue from the iron age! It’s a piece of history; deep history. Well here goes: When poured, it has a nice golden color and I can see a lot of bubbles showing that it’s pretty carbonated. It has a little bit of a sweet wine smell mixed with beer. Taste: Sweeter flavor with mild hints of wine. Really smooth stuff! It has a little bit of a bite in the end, but I am not complaining at all. Am honored to have had some of this. I will remember this one.
