Oct 20, 2009 Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a heavy, cloudy brown that was murky. The head was light brown. Aroma was full of malty and grainy notes with an undertone of raisins. Alcohol was clearly present as well. Flavor had strong malty and grainy notes with a strong alcoholic burn. A bit overwhelming for my taste.

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma is bread, raisins and dark fruits. Slightly oxydised notes. Overly sweet. Flavour is syrup sweet with dark fruits and alcohol. Interesting, but a bit too much. Same finish. Lingering caramel notes. 26-09-09.

Oct 9, 2009 Rating #400. Bottle @ Shady’s. Pours a clear dark amber with no head. Alcoholic nose, followed by a hint of sweet fruit and spices. Complex body swirls with brown sugar, molasses, raisins, and tons of malt. Sticky caramel finish with a punch of alcohol. Epic in every way.

Oct 8, 2009 Poured from a 3 year old aged 12 oz bottle. This one has aged beautifully. The aroma has some strong dark fruit with a mix of caramel. Lacing on the glass is very strong and prevalent. There is some head, but its rather thin. The initial flavor is very sweet which is followed by a more subdued raisin-like flavor As previous reviewer stated, the sweetness reminds me of a porter but its not quite as sweet. The aftertaste has a very distinct dried apricot flavor. Excellent beer for sipping.

Oct 6, 2009 12 oz bottle, cellared a year or two. Hazy brown with a trace of foam. Nose is boozy raisin, caramel and light cardboard. Kind of syrupy with light carb. Taste is very port-like though not as intensely sweet. Woody, burnt sugar, unspiced baklava and raisin. Dry finish with bitter plum pits. Pretty good for a hot sipper.

Oct 3, 2009 2006 bottle. Pours amber. Nose is alcohol, raisins, grapes, some sweet sugars. Flavor is heavy warming alcohol, sweet raisins, dark fruits, candy sugar, sweet malt, some mustiness, slight oxidation. Semi syrupy mouthfeel. Mellowed out nicely. I suggest cellaring a few of these.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. What can only be described as a swift kick in the face of molasses, dark fruits, and sweet malts. No hiding the alcohol in this beer. Ruby brown, syrup like body. Low Carbonation. Definitely something you just have to try for yourself.
