Dark amber with a medium beige head. Rich malt aroma and taste. Big alcohol presence. Very rich with lots of sugary dark fruit: figs, raisins. Complex and very pleasant.

dark and murky copper-ruby body, thin and short light tan head; fig; yes--fig; fairly carbonated, somewhat syrupy; bittersweet and balanced for what figginess it desires to be.

Pours a slightly-hazed, deep-amber (almost mahogany) into the glass, with a trace head and no real lace. Light figs, dates, dark fruits, maybe some sorghum and currants in the aroma.... all underdone, and not as complex as I make it sound (not bad, just not "that" complex). The flavor is somewhat underdone again, with figs predominating, and some faint alcohol notes underneath. There is a woody plumb to the finish (as a result of the hopping). Nothing is overt in this brew, and it was certainly not as I expected. Not bad, just not outstanding.

22 oz bottle poured into a trappist glass has a amber brown color with a thin light tan head that disappeared. aroma has caramel sweet malt, dark fruit, figs, cherry, and hops mixed up with the alcohol. mouth feel is thinner with fizzy carbonation. flavor has a malted dark fruit combo. fig really stands out giving both in body and flavor. sweetness picks up and the dark fruits (fig, raisin, plumb) have a dominant role. just cant quite get into this one.

Bottle at patrick767’s Fort Wayne Local tasting. Small tan head with lasting retention, transparent, no visible carbonation, spotty lacing, and a red hue. The aroma was dark fruits, figs, malt, hops, and semi-sweet. The flavor was malt, sweet, dark fruits, figs, lightly bitter, and a dry finish. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. An okay beer for me as I couldn’t get into the flavor of it for some reason and will pass on wanting this one again.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours mostly clear and amber with an off-white head. It has a mostly malt aroma with a hint of dark fruit. The nicely balanced malt flavor is joined by tasty pine and citrus hops. It has a nice full body and a mildly bitter finish. Very good.
