Amber with a lasting off-white head. Rich aroma of raisins. tangerine, prunes and toffee. Flavour is sweet, rich and complex, with dried fruits, licorice, alcohol and a little hop bitterness. Smooth and full mouthfeel, and very easy to drink despite the fruity sweetness - all in all, a wonderful botteld dessert.

Poured a pretty tawny red color into a tulip glass with an exceptional head that stuck around. Initial burst of malty sweetness, followed by a warming, bitter alcohol flavor that complimented the sweetness. Smooth all the way down. Very enjoyable.

Pours with very little head. Very nice reddish-brown color. Aroma is a very fulfilling mixture of English malts, Fuggles hops, and sherry notes. Lots of Caramel/Crystal malt aromas. Possibly some peatiness or smokiness in there too. A very complex concoction of smells. Unfortunately, that was where it ended for me. Tastes surprisingly thin and un-complex for being 8.5% alcohol and 2 1/2 years old. Improves somewhat as it warms up.

Pours a reddish brown with a nice soapy off white head. Aroma of malt, hops, biscuit, and caramel. Flavor is caramel, yeast, brown sugar, with a little bitterness at the finish. Good stuff. :)

Bottle #74599 pours out a nice amber topped with a off white head. Aroma of malt, sweetness, and some alc. also a touch of citrus hops. Tast of brown sugar, thick rick malts. A littel hops on the bitter end.
