Semi-cloudy amber pour, cream colored head. Carbonation fairly lively in the glass and in the mouth. Aroma of malt and grains,some darker fruits. Tastes more of sweet than roast malts, raisin, some caramel/toffee and somewhat creamy. Finishes a little earthy, some hops, small bitterness. Very drinkable. For some reason I was suprised that this was pretty good.

650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a translucent dark brown with amber highlights and a small off-white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is loaded with dark fruits (figs, dates, raisins). The flavor is overtly sweet with more of the dark fruits noted in the aroma, there is a smattering of biter hops on the back end. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering dark fruits and molasses. Overall: This is an original beer, but one that I’ll probably pass on in the future.

Bottle shared by shigadeyo. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate dark tart fruit aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium fruity balanced flavor with a medium sweet small alcohol finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

From a 22 oz bottle taken directly from the beer cellar and poured at 55 degrees, this poured a garnet color with a tan head and good lacing rings.s Nose is rich dark ripe fruit with the figs clearly present. Mouthfeel is sticky but still shows carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet and shows ripe fruit and again the figs. But it is in the finish where the figs really show up and there is a light bitterness that makes this an overall delightful brew to drink.
