3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle, aged nearly a year. Pours a lovely clear ruby with fizzy, vanishing beige head. Massive toffee aroma with sherry warmth, red licorice sweetness. Ungainly on the palate, with strong oxidation metals countering an initial fruity sweetness, huge brandy-like alcohol presence and faint medicinal hop finish. Thin on the palate, but quite sticky afterwards. OK once in a while.

Pours dark brown with small head. Aroma is incredibly sweet. Definate syrup in sweetness. Flavor is strong malt sweetness. Lots of Alcohol. I like it but a half bottle would be plenty. Good for an after dinner drink.

Bottle thanks to largadeer. Pours a surprisingly pale reddish-amber color with a one-finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Sweet malty aroma, caramel, toffee, and a little spice. The flavor is really nice, if not too intense. Sweet caramel and toffee, plum, fig, date, and spice. Smooth and medium-bodied for the style with soft carbonation. Really great for the style.

Gave off an aroma of sweet maple and gave off a similar taste. It had a somewhat upfront alcohol palate. Nice amber color and left a nice lacing in the glass...almost like a fine wine. Recommended for those looking for something new.

Great beer with a good level of sweetness. Lots of fruit flavors with a bit of alcohol taste. Good flavor overall. Not sure ehy it is rated so low for such a tasty beer.

Aroma of honey, caramel, bread, slightly winey, with some dark fruit. Huge, caramel, honey flavor with cookies and cake. Sweet and hot. Big, thick palate. Smooth and hot. A fun beer when taken in moderation. Better with some age.

Aroma is sweet with malt. banana, some alcohol and plastic glue. Flavour is rather strong on caramel. Also some toffee, sweet malt and alcohol. Sticky stuff. Good, I was expecting much worse.

12 oz bottle Market of Choice. Was having a cheap(er) drinking night last night and was intrigued by an 11% bottle that only cost 2.50. Poured out a clear copper color with a very light white head. Aroma full of caramel, toffee, raisins and booze. Flavor was sugar, caramel, toffee, light raisin/fig type fruit and a big booze finish. This one will certainly get the job done and at 11% it’s a great way to get an inexpensive buzz on.
