HeBrew Rejewvenator 2008

Dark color. Smell of nuts, dough, banana, raisin, hops, dark fruit and some spice. Taste of bread, roasted malt, hops, dark fruit, nuts, raisin, alcohol, banana, brown sugar and prunes.

Nice pour, a rich chestnut body with a ruby tint and an acceptable beige head which sadly lasts none too long. It has a sweet malty aroma with a light aroma of figs (not a Fruit Beer?) and green raisins. The sweetness never overpowers in the flavor because of an earthy/herbal bitterness that holds it in check along with a light peppery sensation. The finish is interestingly dry. Not bad.

nice malty backbone of a beer that is pleasantly enhanced by the earthy flavor of quality figs. 22 oz bottle went down well and had little alcohol profile. not much in the hop area (somewhat disappointing) but all in all ok. good fruit flavors of raisin and dark cherry the beer had somewhat of a sweetness to it. a spice profile that is not overdone.

bomber. pours a dark red copper with a quick medium tan head. bread, vanilla and fruit aroma. sweet syrupy, roasted malt, caramel and fig. finishes with a raisin and spice tartness. interesting sipp’n beer, but couldn’t drink much of it.

Had on tap. Dark reddish color, with mild head. Nice aroma--fruity, malty. Good taste during and after drinking. Will drink again!

Very dark ruby color with a tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, figs and candy. Flavor of sweet dark fruits/figs.

Ruby color with small off-white head. Sweet nose with a hint of spice. Flavor is big sweet up front with fig flavor following up towards the endd.

pours a lovely dark orange with a frothy head. aroma is of slight fig, and of bread, and some slight cinnamon. more malty than hoppy in the taste and aroma. fig taste is apparent after a few seconds. good beer. nothing to get too excited about. 7.8% is hidden well.
