Smells of raisins, caramel, orange, and malt. Mouthfeel is very carbonated like a sprite. Taste is of plums and raisins with some citrus notes. Very easy and smooth to drink. Slight hop bite. Good brew. nickd717 (1345), Palo Alto, California, USA

Great strong aroma gives intial hint of fruitiness, Dark, cloudy and almost a deep deep purple/brown in colour. The flavour is bold with strong fruity elements accompanied with spicy undertones. The beer provides an appropriate level of fizz with a generous finish. Really enjoy this beer and drink it regularly. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
