Really awesome beautiful beer. The malt and fig flavor blend seamlessly together. Gourmet. Unique. Good hop presence. This a beer you will crave later. It just smells so damn good. I have an idea. Let’s barrel age this beer and amp up the alcohol just a bit. Oooh baby that would be nice.

I was not impressed. I have a bias against most gimmic brews and this was no exceptioin. Too sweet. I think it has some identity problems. Hint of prunes.

Pours a deep burgundy color with a thin beige head. Aroma of dried fruit and hops. The flavor is really takes center stage: a combination of molasses and fruit - mostly cherries. The result is sweet, but quickly followed by some sourness. Moderately carbonated mouthfeel. As you finish a sip you get a slight burn from the high alcohol content. Hops are present, but play only a supporting role in this ale. A decent effort, but nothing to write home about.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy ruby/mahogany color with a smallish khaki head. Aroma of caramel covered apples, figs, dark fruits, candied sugar, and some toasty maltiness. Medium-bodied and syrupy. Starts off with lots of candied sugar, figs, caramel, and Golden Delicious apples. A touch of spice at the end. Slight presence of warming alcohol. A bit too reminiscent of cough syrup for me.
