Pours a hazy copper color from the bottle with a trim beige head. Smells and tastes of brown sugar, raisins, and maple syrup. Leaves a bitter taste on the finish that I assume is associated with the beet sugar. Nice.

Bottle. Hazy red/brown color with absolutely no head. Aroma is malt, brown sugar, raisins. Flavor is raisins, brown sugar, molasses and alcohol. When it enters the mouth it is bitter. Afterwards it becomes sweet. Very good beer.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium head. Low head retention and lacing. Very malty aroma dominated by raisins and brown sugar along with citrus and some other fruits. Taste is raisins, brown sugar, molasses. Full bodied and quite warm from the alcohol.

Bottle. Thanks to hopdog for sending this as a bonus in recent trade. Beautiful clean copper color. Thick and sticky vanilla head that lasts throughout tasting. Lovely, complex aroma of raisin, caramel toffee and apple, with a bit of nutmeg. Robust flavor that starts with a big, sweet malty punch, and leaves a lingering raisin tone. Quite sweet, but it goes well with the high alcohol content. Thick body and a warming finish. This one will knock your head around a bit after one 12oz bottle. Really good. Probably best served as an aperitif.
