Sweet aroma of honey, grapes, plums and cookies. Appears a ckear golden color with noticeable effervescence of large bubbles and with a head that dissipates quickly. Flavor is clean, with honey, herbs, and some surprisingly spicy notes, with an equally suprising tart finish. Palate gives the impression of being thin and watery, yet somehow hides the majority of the alcohol. Overall, quite a strange brew but pleasant nonetheless. My thanks go to joeybgood for this tasty brew.

Oct 11, 2008 pours a light copper with very small head, slightly hazy. Aroma is quite vinous with sweet and herbal notes as well. Flavor is very sweet with notes of wine, a sticky syrup quality, and some citrus. Very interesting- not really my style, but unique and a nice change. Good beer.

Oct 8, 2008 Dark golden hue, stronger taste than aroma... grapes and honey stand out the most... hits the palate more like a barley wine... good beer... would recommend getting it fresh... Even with the high alcohol I still have had brews that lose their character quickly...

Oct 7, 2008 Pours golden/amber color with a lot of carbonation. Sweet hints of honey with the bite of the muscat grapes. Very pleasant taste with hardly any hint of alcohol.

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.
