Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Heavy aromas of caramel and nutty for the malt, moderate herbs and resin for the hops, light earth for the yeast and other notes of date and brown sugar. Head is creamy, off white has good lacing amd is mostly diminishing. Color is clear, dark red/brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start, then finishes moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a soft carbonation. It finishes lightly alcoholic. Hearty and rich, a great sipping beer with great aromas.

Jun 19, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark reddish-brown body with a small, thinning, white head.
Smell: A scent of freshly opened boxes of raisins overlaying a light, earthy maltiness and notes of sherry and roast.
Taste: Moderately sweet, earthy maltiness with just a slight roastiness. Prominent raisin fruitiness. Light sherry, some spices, and even a dash of coffee. Medium-light bitterness. Hint of alcohol on the drying, lightly astringent finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit too sweet and a bit too coarse, though it fits the name.

Jun 13, 2008 Holy crap! Bottle with big thanks to dchmela! Aroma has sweet notes of caramel, dried dark fruits, brown sugar, and some black licorice. Lovely! Medium brown amber hue with a small disappearing off-white head that leaves little lace. Flavor is sticky sweet caramel, prune, raisin, licorice, and a slight roast and bitterness. Palate is full/medium bodied and oily soft. Very good brew but I’m surprised to not see it listed as a barely wine. Nice and sweet with a killer bw aroma. But the palate is a little off and the finish does leave me wondering just what the heck is going on here, but I like it.

Poured a dark brown with a cream-colored head. Taste was very strange, alcohol, sugary, malty, weird. I do not know what to think of this beer. I think I liked the Brown Shugga much better. Oh well, I’ll put some in the cellar and see how it does next year.

Jun 8, 2008 Great malt profile with loads of dried fruit and caramel. All balanced lovely with hops and carried to a higher level with a well covered alcohol burden. Yummy! This is one heck of an ale!

Jun 7, 2008 Draft. Poured a dark brown with a moderate head. Sweet smells, malts and such pretty good I thought.
