Nice head and dark amber color. There is a lot of floral, fruity and malty notes and the bitterness is spot on in this great, almost slightly vinous beer.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This beer rocks!
Slightly hazy, deep copper ale. Large, rocky, beige-colored head. Good lacework.
The nose is full of stuff: Raisins, light molasses, yeast (bread dough), tawny port and caramel.
The flavor matches the aroma. A medley of many rich things; caramel and molasses foremost. Fairly well-balanced.
Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Excellent finish! Lengthy, bittersweet and moderately alcoholic. Reminds me of a good scotch ale. A winner!
