Aroma: Sweet malt, dried figs, muscovado sugar. Appearance: Brown with ruby highlights and a thin, but persistent tan head. Flavor: Dark sugar, malt, alcohol with semi-sweet hoppy finish. Palate: Full bodied with minimal carbonation. Overall: Drinks like a Wee Heavy on steroids.

Pours a dark brown and beige head and some lacing. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, tobacco, dark fruits. Taste is very rich, lots of burnt sugar, dark fruits, chocolate, peaty, leather. Full body and medium carbonation. A real sipper, definitely a winner here.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks avrashi. Cloudy brown with tan head. Ink, squid, sweet sugar and prune with slight smokiness in the nose. Roasty, very bitter, edgy, fruity-prune taste. Smooth texture, full body, mildly carbonated, dried-fruit finish, raisins. Rich and interesting.

(35 cl bottle from Barley Wine; Batch #68) Pours black with rich tan head. Good retention and beautiful lace. Aroma is malty with powerful notes of toffee, dried fruits, syrup, confectionary and molasses. Creamy texture, full body, soft carbonation and a sweet finish. Flavour is sweet and syrupy. Compared to the altbier doppelsticke this one is surprisingly much less hoppy but still quite pleasant in small amounts.

ZEBF13 pours brown, very small white foam. smells sweet, taste is very sweet, suggary, almost bourbon (?) earthy, complex, very nice!

355 ml bottle received in trade. Thank you pushkinwow! Pours reddish wooden brown with a very small beige head that quickly dissiptes without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is sweet and malty with toasted malts, tobacco, charred wood, vanilla fudge, sweet dark bread, whisky, biscuits, alcohol, raisins in rum, peat, cocoa powder, toffee, caramel and hints of prunes, figs and smoke. Taste is sweet and bitter with toasted malts, lots of moist tobacco, alcohol, burnt cereal, biscuits, toffee, bitter chocolate, vanilla fudge, charred wood, raisins, prunes, port wine, burnt cookies, caramel and hints of very sweet dark roast coffee and peat. Mouthfeel is round, slightly roasted astringent, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with toasted malts, caramel, biscuits, charred wood, vanilla fudge, bitter chocolate, raisins in rum, prunes and hints of port wine and peat. Interesting very tasty beer…

Dark brown body, small head. Forest berries, red grapes, fig and bit woody. Clean yeast. Oily body, thick taste profile. Intense yet balanced. World class brew. (ZeeBra)

Has a somewhat boozie nose malt nose. Taste has some sweetness, dark fruit, smoke and oak. Thick body and very smooth. Thanks to my buddy for smuggling this one back.

Wow. This is Beer. Where to start? Dark fruits. Yet chocolately. Incredible mouthfeel. Quad-like notes in flavor. But then stout-like notes linger. This is a complex beer. Would love to hear the backstory as to who this Adam person is. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Complex start to finish. Vinous nose. Incredibly smooth, full bodied mouth feel. Malt forward. Dark cocoa on a lasting finish. ~m --RaucusBacchus
