UPDATED: APR 2, 2009 Despite being somewhat stylistically challenged, it is an incredible beer. The nose is pungent and gives off a winey chocolatiness that reminds me much more of a dopplebock, than a brown ale. This is reassured by plums and raisins dancing in the background. The mouth is lightly fruity with dark fruit, plums, chocolate and good esters. The finish is strong with plums and brown sugar and tinge of alcohol (after all this is an 8% beer!). This beer has great depth and should be recognized for that.
