Deep amber with no head - just a whisper of bubbles on the surface, and it is still. Aroma is full and heady; rum at first, then powerful honey and apples and peaches with a stirring warm spice - like cinnamon or cardamom. The taste is a slap in the face; it hits a flat note like bread or wet cardboard, at first disconcerting; but then changes into a dry, winelike sweetness and complexity. It leaves a long aftertaste of apple, peach, apricot, and toffee. A rare treat. astrofrk (218), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 5, 2009 Red-Brown. Fast, soapy head. Aroma: Caramel, plum, spice.

Vinous dark fruity aroma, with raisins up front and a bit of a matly sweetness. The flavor features a nice lightly sour dark fruity sweetness, with raisin, cherry and plum, as well as tobacco, wood, and toffee. Not bad for a 13 year old beer.
