Dec 8, 2008 Mohogany pour with a soft white head. Fruity nose of cherry and spice. Malty with a fairly bitter finish. Carbonation was softer, not really drying out much in the finish. Soft bready quality almost like fruitcake and a soft special B raisin character.

Dec 5, 2008 2008 bottle. Pours a deep reddish amber with a nice tan head. After that this beer did not do much fo me. I thought the aroma came of like spruce and that transfered to the flavor. I did not care for it. Sort of heavy as well. Plenty of carbonation and a sweetish finish. Not a fan.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from Marcus! C&C. Slightly hazy copper amber color with a froth beige/tan head. Mysterious aromas, underlying which is fruit. Hop or ? But fruit. Not dark fruit. Rich light stone fruit. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. There is a funky note, astringency, wood, pale fruit, maybe tobacco. Floral/fruit hop. And the funk, though not strong, never quits. This is a truly intriguing ale.
