Deep copper/light brown, clear, beige head. Aroma of bread crusts, dark fruit (raisins, plums), alcohol and a little spice. Flavor features a lot of plumb and raisin, a brown sugar sweetness, some Munich-like malt flavors, warming alcohol and some light perfumy notes. Tasty but a little on the sweet side.

2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Although apparently it is a good beer with a nice colour, good aroma and lovely head, it just turns out to taste like medicine with too much alcohol. I am not sure if I like it or not...
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
330ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Ooh, I like this one! Dark reddy brown body with a small tan head. It is quite cloudy. A yeasty aroma with chocolate, dark fruit, and a hit of burnt sugar. Malty taste, with liquorice and rich fruits coming through. A big hit of alcohol warmth makes this a great winter comfort beer. Really nice, and with the sweetness, very dangerous.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
May 2012 - Sweet, syrupy, liquer taste. Molasses. Bitter sharpness. Slight banana in the late aftertaste. One of the sweetest beers I’ve had. Nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Color is black with reddish glares. Head is small, brown, vanishes quickly and leaves a weak film. Aroma is very powerful: licorice, caramel and black fruits. Palate is nicely alcoholic, not very strong, oily. Taste is very sweet, but also deep and complex. Vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, clack sugar and cola, maybe.
