Dec 10, 2007 had this @ the DFH alehouse in gaithersburg. pours a murky brown with a thin white head. aroma is raisin, hops, roasty malt, dates, brown sugar, alcohol. tastes just like it smells. this one is sweet! the high alcohol bites you too (in a good way), lots of bourbon. this is one potent brew. pretty complex, though a bit too sweet for me. mid body with moderate carbonation (though it was all gone by the time i finished it, took me about an hour). if you’re into sweet, dark fruit, this one’s for you.

Dec 9, 2007 Bottle: Pours a cloudy dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is a sickly sweet. Flavor is same. Sweet with a kick from the alcohol. Aftertaste lingers on.

Dec 1, 2007 2006 Bottle. Cherry brown with very thin head. Brown sugar, maple and alcohol aroma. Pure sweetness in the taste. Tons of sweet, dark fruit and just way too sweet to enjoy much of. A little tobacco. Man...this should come in 2 oz bottles.

Nov 24, 2007 2006 bottle: Hazy amber pour with a fluffy tan head. Sweet caramel nose notes hay, oranges, golden raisons, ether and plums. The body is sickly sweet, like drinking straight sugar water. Wow. Some honey and caramel notes add complexity to the raison-sugar-water. An interesting beer that is probably fun to brew, but in the end this comes off too sweet and lacking complexity.

Nov 23, 2007 Pours clear copper with a light tan head that quickly turns into a ring of bubbles. Raisins, brown sugar, candy corns, and malt in the nose. Rich flavor of raisins and caramel, highly alcoholic, and that boubon flavor. Could use some hops to take the sweetness down a little.

Nov 22, 2007 Very strong and powerful in the aroma as well as in the taste. Copper brown color with a thin tan colored head. Flavor was full of malt, heavy fruits (figs and raisens), with a touch of whiskey alcohol flavors. Potent.

Nov 20, 2007 A Mes rate: 50cl bottle at the Magic_dave6 shindig at Chris O’s.
Dark amber with a very reddish hue and a slim off white head. The heady alcohol percentage is totally obvious where as the raisins are just about noticeable. Delicate malt rounds off a reasonable aroma. Flavour wise it’s just way too much for me. Extremely sweet and fiercely alcoholic. Lots of burn, far too much to be enjoyable. Raisins, dates, figs and other fruit that looks horrible and probably taste similar. Not my thing. I can’t get past the heavy sweetness and alcohol.
