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.

12 ounce bottle. Poured an almost blood orange color with little carbonation. Aroma pulled me in right away, heavy malt, figs, brown sugar, raisins and spice. I wish the flavor could have lived up to the aroma. Although there was noticable raisins and spice, there was almost too much alcohol present. A very good DFH offering worth sharing with friends, but I probably wont buy again.

12oz bottled on march 15, 2007. Pours a very murky, dirty looking red-brown with particulate floating around in the body. The head is about an inch thick, very fizzy, beige and dissipates slowly and remains nicely laced and swirly on the surface. The aroma is an abundance of malts. Very sugary and boozy. Lots of raisin and dried fruit smell to it. Has a wine characteristic and maybe a little brandy quality too. Surprisingly sweet smelling. The flavor is extremely sweet. It tastes and feels like a nectar. Loaded with raisin and prunes upfront as well in the finish. Lots of sweet maltiness and very warming on the way down. The alcohol is hidden exceptionally well for such a huge beer. Not very bitter. The palate is full bodied and has a distinct cloying sweetness. Overall, this is a very interesting beer. Its intense as hell and definitely qualifies as a sipper. I do like the warming quality it gives my body, but it might be a little too sweet for my palate. I think ill stick to the etre.
