In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. This was surprisingly thick. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. There’s a great malty thickness to this flavor. Lots of chocolate and raisins. Really great.

Coloração marrom escura, creme denso e consistente. Aroma de café, torrado e leve chocolate. O paladar segue o aroma, com a presença do lúpulo e do malte. Final longo e levemente amargo.

Best by 07/07/12. 750 ml. corked and caged green bottle. Loud pop when cork was released. Poured out a deep amber color, with a weak head. Aromas are of sugar coated raisins, burnt sugars, some rum soaked figs. Flavors are an esoteric blend of heavenly sugars, sublime malts, and an enigmatic blend of flavors too special to mention. This is the beer spoken of in dark circles, in dark corners. Fabulous beer all in all, a beauty to behold.

Very deep and dark red brown color. Small but lacy beige head. Sweet malty aroma is wine-like with berries. Strong flavor is sweet malty, sugary and cherry. Quite full-bodied, sugary and smoothly carbonated palate. Alcohol doesn’t taste but it certainly will be felt.

Bottle (2006): Pours a cloudy brown with a lingering tan head. The aroma is sweat with a hint of cinnamon and spice. The flavor is sweet, with lots of malt, caramel, dark fruit and cola. The alcohol doesn’t overwhelm which is surprising considering it’s 11%. The palate is clean an fits a Belgian well but overall this is unbalanced and too sweet to impress me.

Bottle from Party Source, KY. Poured clear brown color with medium frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma was complex sweet malty yeasty. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet dark fruit flavor with medium sweet with small alcohol bite finish of moderate to long duration. Good brew.
