Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Jan 29, 2009 Sampled thanks to sixfootsix. Pours a clear brown with decent sustainable tan head. Nose of raisin, plum, chocolate. Flavor is dark fruits, yeast. There is a nice warming quality but this manages to mask the alcohol quite well. Soft on the palate. I enjoyed this quit a bit. Extra point for the cool label, but that’s canceled out by the price :( nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 27, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased at Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a clear brown color with red highlights. Think coca cola. There was absolutely no head. The aroma was alcohol and vinegar. The flavor was good, with dark fruit, caramel and some chocolate. A very minimal metallic taste in the finish. This beer doesn’t rank up there with some of the best in my opinion. hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 25, 2009 Bottle. Beautiful red-brown colour. Sweet choclatey aroma. Also raisins port wine and orange. Taste is malty and choclatey. This beer is overall too sweet and clean. Rodders (114), Norwich, Norfolk, England Jan 25, 2009 What a beautiful beer in every sense of the word. Smells strongly of alcohol when poured but taste isn’t overly present, just warms the throat plesently. Appearance is of a strong, dark beer. Hints of fruit, with a sweet caramel taste that lingers well. Truely an enjoyable beer. pj1855 (154), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jan 25, 2009 Outstanding beer. Pours a dark brown with a good sized light brown head.
Aroma of malts, spice and some alcohol.
Flavor - Perfect combination of sweet malt and spice. Very smooth for 10.5 abv. cluny6 (115), Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England Jan 23, 2009 Lost my notes. I remeber it being a very good beer that I would love to have again. More notes to come. finol (475), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden Jan 23, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget.
Dark burgundy colour and no head.
Raisins, malts and spices. Very well balanced. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 23, 2009 Medium red amber in color with a good sized head. Aroma is fruity and slightly spicy. Flavor is of fruit, caramel, some toffee, and spices.
