May 12, 2008 Bottle, shared I believe by eyedrinkale. Brown pour, off-white head. Aroma is strange malt, some sweet dark fruit but also burnt roast and wood. The flavor is the same, the wood is a little off, and there is some alcohol noticable also.

May 12, 2008 Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Amberish brown with a small but strong tan head. Good oak presence in the nose along with fig, raisins and very subtle chocolate. Sweet flavor with a slick body and less oak in the flavor than the aroma. Hints of chocolate followed by light oak hints leading to a sweet raisin and maple touch. Not bad, just a bit sweet.

May 4, 2008 Bottle. Blind tasting. A red brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is of caramel malt, wood, vanilla and fruits. The taste is sweet caramel, fruits, vanilla and wood. Medium to full body with a light sweet, light alcoholic finish.

Apr 27, 2008 Hazy mahogany brown. Aroma of brown sugar and brandy. Flavors are for more complex and include sweet chestnuts, honey, and figs. Soft, creamy, smooth palate. Nice stuff.

Apr 27, 2008 750, corked and baled. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! Murky dark brown with bright ruby highlights. Light gray rim, laceless, still. Huge cherry nose with toffee, caramel, and white sugar there as well. Creamy body on the high side of medium, active carb. Plums, cherries, and other dark pitted tree fruit come through on the mid-palate. Mild sweet dark fruit finish.
