Feb 27, 2006 No. 72725. Thin, though capuccino-ish creamy head on top of a pretty vinous amber. Extremely complex nose including caramel, dates, eiswein, and brandied prunes as well as just the slightest suggestion of orange peel and clove. Flavour is soft and raisiny, dark brown sugar (although the sweetness is very subtle and well balanced), touch of banana bread and cabernet franc. An absolutely fantastic beer.

Feb 9, 2006 1 pint, 0.9 fl oz; bottle 67074. Has a copper color with a small foamy tan head and some to no lacing. Aroma is cherry with an apple touch and maple sweet flavor. Alcohol is a bit strong with a heavy bitterness, dry and moderate sweetness, caramel and maple malt, with many different fruits that creates a wonderful flavor. Dry palate that bites just a bit.

Jan 25, 2006 Dark amber/brown, a bit hazy. Malty taste with lots of toffee and dried fruit: figs, raisins, apricots and dark cherries (tastes like my mom’s christmas fruit cake). A very nice and well balanced bitterness blends well with the fruit and at the end, the alcohol comes through with warmth and a touch of sweetness. Not as sweet as you might fear though. Beautifully balanced beer. I definitely love it.
