Dark reddish brown color with a thin head and not much lace. Sweet fruity (berries) malt aroma with a slight hoppiness. Sweet malty flavor with some fruity notes. Medium to full bodied.

On draft at the brew pub. Brownish color with a light head. Nice oak on the palate. Drinkable and smooth.

(22oz bottle) Pours a huge almond-coloured head with an opaque body. Nose has hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Full malted flavour with a burnt caramel and sugar, figs and seeds. Mildly iodine in the finish - expressing the high alcohol. Very good.

Bottle out of brewers private stock. Brown in color with a nice clear tan head. Raisiny, fig like aroma. Nice and fruity flavor. Rich tasting. Well balanced. Fruity. Drinkable and nice.

Bottle out of Tim’s private stock, literally. Brown, clear, tan head. Fruity aroma, raisins, figs, some malt. Bold malty flavors, rich and fruity. Real nice ale.

On tap at the brewpub. I would've said this is more like an English strong (little hoppiness, woody-sweet character) but whatever. The important thing is the quality of the beer. Extremely dark molasses brown, nearly opaque, no head and very still. Big malty-sweet nose with hints of blueberries; it was served too cold so the nose was impeded for much of my sample. Very nice fruitiness throughout, very drinkable and pleasant, almost no carbonation, just a hint of bitterness at the end. Very nice, I just wish they had more offerings tonight.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 On tap at the brewpub. Orange/brown color, spicy sweet citrus (orange) aroma, ends sweet in a caramel sort of way with a long aftertaste. Full bodied and very nice, even though the 7% was noticeable.

Deep brown in color,thin white head.Citrus/malty aroma.Roasted malt flavor,sweet rasiny. Lingering hoppy finish,slightly bitter.
