Bottle from Super Saver. Clear copper pour with 1-finger, off-white head. Aroma of big fruit, apricot, peach in heavy syrup, caramel malt. The flavor was caramel malty, with a rich, sweet, and hot palate that got hotter as it warmed. There was also apricot, honey, caramel, and some cognac in the taste. This one wasn’t bad ice cold, but it got really hard to finish as it warmed up.

Bottle. Clear medium amber pour with just a hint of red to it. Thin layer of beige head. Strong aroma of freshly cut wheat, pears, plums, toffee, and a hint of brandy. First impression in the mouth is heavy, malty, boozy sweetness. More big hits of dark fruit and alcohol followed. This became thicker and more cloying as it wamed. Not the most complex brew, but was definitely palatable and warming.

Aroma is bold sweet malts. Taste is similar, though you can actually find some peppery hops having a wee say. Very very drinkable with the alcohol well hidden, one for when you need something sweet and strong and cant find samichlaus.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a medium-small, fizzy white head, low retention with little to no lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee, dark fruit), light hops (floral), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of peach, vanilla, and alcohol. Flavor is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee, dark fruit), average hops (floral, spicy), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of peach, vanilla, and alcohol. Full body, high warmth, medium carbonation and creaminess, with a sweet yet slightly dry finish.

Bottle poured a clear tarnished copper with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of prune, raisin, carmel, molasses and pepper. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a earming finish. Flavors of prune, raisin, fig, brown sugar and pepperr with a smooth warming lingering sweet malty finish.

Bottle from circle liquors before it was bought out. Amber body with a two finger head. Lots of sugar cane, etoh, vinous thanks to the fruity nature of this beer. Bubblegum and plum. A solid beer.

barely got through this, to strong, to everything.

Amber pour. Off white head. Aroma smells of apple juice...and thats about all I could get. Flavor is sweet and tastes like an artificially sweetened apple juice. Yuckola.
