Another Vegas trip special
Poured out a decent sized bubbly brown cap that crackled like a fire. This all died down to quick. Dark brown / red brew. Great aroma - very lively and upfront yet smooth and pleasant. Nutty with almonds being the most notable, licorice, roasted malts, prunes, weak medicinal blend (very weak), brown sugar, a hint of nutmeg (old) and more dark fruit. The taste is also very good and very tasty pleasuring my senses in a way that only soft kitten fur will do - preferabaly fresh kitten pelt mittens. Raisins, spice, roasted malts, toffee, port, nutmeg, some dark fruit and ample sweetness. Goes down smooth, nice lively carbonation, leaves the mouth soft and happy. Ends with a slight nuttiness and the faintest of bitter lingerings. Excellent brew that is very well balanced and shows off its wide range of flavours and aromas nicely.

Pours a clear nutty, amber with thick light tan colored head. Aroma is very caramely and brown sugar syrup. Vanilla extract presented an almond extract there too. Flavor is very mutty balanced with caramel/brown sugar. Malty flavors definitely there. A very subtle chocolate/coffee mix coming across (very light). Body is light but full. honey present in this beer too.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
330ml Bottle, dark brown with a creamy head. Bubblegum and sweet malt aromas. Very sweet all round, almost too much for mine. Not really much depth of taste, mostly plums as has been said here by many. A little sticky on the lips too.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Not too shabby. Aroma has some warming notes of black cherry, plum, candy sugar, toffee, yeast. Flavor is similar,with dark fruits upfront followed by sweet malt and then a nice relaxing warming from the alcohol. Pretty tasty, although the price is a bit much for 7%.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours cloudy amber with yeast and other particulate matter floating about. The head is thin and fast to fade. Looks just like coca-cola. Aroma is of Cherry, perhaps cherry sorbet. Some notes of dark fruity malt. A bit of funky yeast also is detectable. A mixed fruit juice box flavor first hits the tongue with some alcohol that could be covered better and a bit of Belgian spice that is not overdone. Lively carbonation makes for an interesting experience with yeast and malt covering the mid to tail end. Good because its a bit different.
