19th July 2008. Brow beer brewed with fig juice. Not sweet at all .Toffee bitterness plus a hint of fig. Quite drinkable but was hoping for something more sumptuos.

The color is a deep, thick-looking cherry juice red. One finger of off-white head with a pinkish tinge. Thick with some pale light (but no shapes) passing through. The smell is notes of roasted malt; hints of burnt cherry. Strong alcohol aroma. Bitter, flowery hops are there but play the back rows. Like a sweetish bock or mild barleywine. The taste is just more dark cherry, but with very strong alcohol and roasted, but slightly sweet malt. Has the thick feel of juice, with a bitter alcohol-laden bite on the swallow. A good, not great beer. A bit too cherry sweet, but enough bitterness to make it palatable.

This brew produced a nice brown, almost Coke-like color to it. It had a nice, but short-lived head that left a nice ring around the top. It was very dark but some light got through which prevented me from giving this the "motor oil" rating. It had a very fruity, sweet aroma. There was a dash of hops in there as well and the overall scent actually reminded me of the Samuel Adams Double Bock - very pleasant. As evidenced by the smell, the taste followed suit with a fruity palate. It had some nicely flavored hops in it as well. It started a little bitter and mellowed out very quickly to end smooth. Although, there was a very quick flow of flavors and it wasn’t very lasting.

Pours a nice dark brown with subtle red tints throughout. One whiff of this brew brings thoughts of fruit, flowers, hops, and several malts. At first taste it is bitter, but it quickly fades into a nice fruity/earthy aftertaste. For some reason this Strong Ale reminds me of a weaker Belgian Dubbel.

Dark amber in color with light carbonation. Aromas of figs, prunes, and faint spice. Med/syrupy body with notes of figs, prunes, dates, slight oxidation, almost cloying sweetness, and a sweet average finish. Too sweet for my tastes at the moment but it should be interesting with some age.
