750ml bottle at a tasting. Pours deep amber with a medium head. Nose has some brett and fruits. Some yeast and spices as well. Taste is a bit sour with some alcohol, brett and spices. Quite a lot of alcohol on the finish. Very warming. A bit lactic and oaky. Some funk also.

Again, I believe this was from DrBayern, poured an opaque orange/brown, formed nice craggy foamy head, aroma tremendous. Flavous was abundant, cross of barnyard funk and smooth, yet somewhat bitter. Brown crystal sugars, spices sneak out. Damn fine beer.

29th August 2008. Little brother to ’Judgement Day’. Opaque brwon beer. Rich with a well blended fruitiness. Warming alcohlic finish but still feels like a beer where as it’s big brother borders in to Madeira territory. Very drinkable.

Bottle from beermerchants.com. Very dark brown with a medium beige head. Complex fruity and spicy aroma. Raisins and aged beers notes. In the mouth brettanomyces adds complexity, blending with sweet raisins and cinnamon. This is the perfect companion to a Christmas pudding. Shame, should have saved it for Christmas Eve.

On draught at Cheeky Monk in Denver. The beer pours an opaque mahogany color with a medium tan head that dissipates slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark malt, ripe fruit and yeast. Full body with flavors of plums, malt, yeast and some spices. The finish is funky fruits and spice. Slow alcohol burn in the background throughout. Good all around.

Bottle 75cl. @ home.
Unclear dark brown color with a average, frothy - fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, spicy, cinnamon, alcohol. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, spicy. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light to moderate alcoholic.

Served cold at Brewfest, Los Angeles. Pours opaque brown with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts and some fruity notes. Smooth and full-bodied. Delicious.

A very solid beer. Pours a dark mahogany with medium brown head. Aroma is lovely of raisins, chocolate, candied sugar. Flavor is mildly sweet. Palate is creamy, thick, lush, just awesome. Loved it and glad I have another :)
