Oct 4, 2008 Bottle, Via trade. Bottle says "Blonde ale brewed with Prunes", but there is nothing Blonde about this beer. Deep, dark Amber color. Nose of yeast and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, maybe too sweet, but a nice spicy finish. Definitely had a dark fruit flavor about it, although I was not able to pin point the Prunes. I will say, I was a little leery about the Prune Effect, but i’m happy to report that I did not have to take a dump after drinking this. Overall, it was pretty good.

Sep 20, 2008 bottle with "11/07" scribbled in white courtesy of the one and only footy aka ’the foot’. pours murky brown with brick reddish hues and a small sandy white head. there’s plenty of random spotty clumpy lacing. there’s a baltic-like pruniness in the aroma that i’m really digging on... mellow yeast, a bit of sourness, mineral/rust/blood, sweet fruit and grass as well. exceptionally malty and a touch sweet but in no way offensive... notes of caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, bruised fuji apples (not the real ones but the chilean knockoffs) and plums with a dry spicy finish. prune-y fruitiness and malt linger in the aftertaste. it borders medium full bodied (but not sticky or cloying) with soft carbonation and a creamy slick texture. very warm in the chest from the abv%. this stuff pairs incredibly well with semi-sweet chocolate!...

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled. Dirty orange to brown colour. Big yeast particles in the liquid. Medium, creamy head is light beige. Rich aroma is full of sweet fruits: banana and plum are distinctive. Warm and yeasty, a bit sour for fermented fruitiness. Some spiciness too. Something "glue-like" in the finish with sour apples. Flavor is sweet, a bit fruity- sour in the finish. Not much bitterness. Palate is very pleasant: foaming ans silky smooth. Medium bodied.
