220z bottle pours brown, carb but no head. Aroma of dark malt and syrupy sweet carmel. Flavor starts out malt with alcohol warmth and sweet, sweet finish of...yes, ripest fig. Reminds me of a Lagunitas Brown Shugga with more complexity. Props for being brazen enough to use figs.

Bomber. Poured medium amber with a short-lived cap of whitish head. The aroma picked up licorice and figgy notes on a sweet front with a warm dark fruity backing.. well-balanced, sweet, and interesting. The flavor was sweet as well with a warm kick to it.. molasses, licorice, and dark fruity sweetness supported spicy, peppery notes, aged figs, and even more molasses right at the back. Medium-bodied and sweet as mentioned on the palate.. good carbonation.. didn’t necessarily feel great, but it worked.

Bottle and served in my NB Worthy glass: Near brownish hue with a small fading head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of fig, caramel, toast, juniper, resin and earthy and minerally esters. The taste is mostly sweet malt and sweet dark fruit with a hit of spice, twangy acidity and continental hop bitterness towards the finish. A note of alcohol kept this from becoming cloy. The mouth feel is sprite and refreshing, oily and a touch of drier mineral water upon the finish. Not too shabby but seems a bit one note, a good winter warmer never the less.

Bottle. Mahogony beer with a small light tan head. Rich figgy aroma with caramel and spice. Figgy/plum/caramel flavor with some spice. Medium-plus body. Lingering caramel, fig, light spice. Lots of fig fruit in this one.

Deep copper amber, moderate ecru head with decent retention. Aroma of fig jam, prunes, and a slight rummy/boozy quality. Palate delivers all that is promised in the nose. Medium bodied, medium sweetness, with a (you guessed it) medium bitter finish that is a little hot.

Bottle (22oz) My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev. I’ll be honest, we got to talking and my notes are pretty thin, but ... Clear red-amber with an average off-white head. Slightly milky aroma, mostly sweet and floral. Sweet and floral and a little boozy in the taste - actually seems a tad syrupy - not bad, but not something I’d want again. Sticky; sugary; not bitter enough by a long shot to balance itself.
