Jan 5, 2007 500ml Bottle: Dark brown pour with ruby red edges, initially great off-white head with excellent retention, but it disappeared fast. Aroma of oak, cherries, plums, alcohol, anise, oranges, and malt. The alcohol is very prevalent, seems much higher than the advertised 6%. Sweetness off the start from fruits and malts, noticeable woody, oaken qualities taken from the aging. Some hops in the back but not a lot, it’s more a hint. Medium body and mouthfeel. Good.

Dec 29, 2006 Dark burgandy with minimal head. Pleasant malty aroma with matching flavor. I found the mouthfeel to be a bit fizzy and bitter. A bit too much for my taste. I don’t think I’ll revisit this one.
