Bottle:   Deep brown, heavy dark caramel hues, moderate to thin light beige head, frothy, sparce lacing.   Soft dark pitted fruit, a little caramel and burnt brown sugar on the nose.   Whoa!   Sweet and a smooth maltiness on the tongue.   So smooth... wow.   Raisins, dates, and figs on the tongue.   Sweet with brown sugar, also with some dull licorice and pear skin.   Full bodied, fairly viscous mouthfeel.   Sweet, slightly biscuity on the finish.   Not heavy, well not bready like so many others.   This one was an utter treat.   Thanks Steve for this one!

TheEpeeist (2369) - Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 4, 2011
13 oz bottle. Almost clear brown with speckles, froth and a haze. Nose is caramel, vanilla, maple, marzipan and apple cake. Body is not quite medium; thinner than expected based on depth of flavor. A light tingle keeps it lively. Taste is chocolate, toffee, dates and candied citrus peel. Just starting to develop some deeper oxidized notes. Wish i had another to try in a few years.
