Bottle-Memphis. Poured a dark red with little head - the lack of carbonation was surprising - plummy nose and rummy finish. enjoyable

amishcaravan (247) - Winona, Minnesota, USA - JUL 8, 2008
pours a dark brown with lasting head. alcohol is the first thing you smell when you put your nose in it. there is also some molasses and yeast with some fermented fruit as well. taste is of fermented fruit and yeast. not much alcohol taste which is nice since it is so strong in the scent. overall, a very nice beer.

IlanMan (1015) - Appleton, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 8, 2008
Pour was cloudy dark brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is up front alcohol with caramel, malt, and strong fruit characters. Flavors are well balanced of fruit, malt, slight hop characters, and more alcohol. Carbonation is very full and pleasant. alcohol is also noticable. Good brew. Would buy again.

Bottle brown, 750 ml
Appearance: Head is huge, dark cappuccino like brownish - yellowish, pillowy, almost creamy head, dense, very frothy, body carbonation is rather soft, head is decreasing to a small froth so mostly diminishing but not rapidly, after some time. Body colour is natural rubby and texture is hazy to murky. lacing of the head is almost non - existant, very nice, juicy, fresh colour.
Aroma: Wet stone, earthy hops, barnyard, alcoholic nose, bananas, sweet fruityness, a hint of cherry, some plums, coffee, aroma has something heavy and unpleasant to me, i don’t know exactly what it is but something barnyeard - old piss like or sweat, burned sugar, roastyness or at last toastyness, rather no wheat, some hints of malted barley, wine grapes, red wine.
Flavour: Yeasts and strawberry, caramell, burned sugar. brown sugar, cherry, plum, grainy, some alcohol warmth, malted barley&wheat, banana, bitterness, nice combination of hops and roastiness, full, rounded, nice taste, crispy, carbonation on palte is felt, finish duration is long, grapes, red wine, burned malted barley, generally flavour is more accidic, full and pronounced more than Val - Dieu because of strong cask wood notes. Body is full, like you would bite the grains, fruits, hops and cask wood.
Palate: Body is full, texture is syrupy, smooth, carbonation is soft on palate, cask wood is dominating with its accidity at the end.
