Feb 17, 2009 Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Medium to dark brown in color with a tan head. Nose consists of yeast, caramel, dark fruit and a hint of spice. Sweet malt flavor up front followed by yeast, cream and fruit with a finish containing alcohol and some hop. Pretty good.

Feb 13, 2009 When I read that this beer was brewed with rasins I didn’t know what to expect. When I opened the bottle and poured, the nose brought the whole experience into clarity. The raisins are omnipresent in this beer which makes for an intriguing taste. Framing this is a sense of other fruits, pears, strawberry, and a little chocolate. the barest hints of caramel and melon finish it off for a very nice effect. Wonderfully creamy and just the right amount of carbonation.

Feb 12, 2009 750 mL from South Bay. Pours a quad brown-black color with a nose of ripe dark fruit, overripe berries, raisins, and some sugar. Flavor is lots of ripe dark fruit, raisins, plums, and some yeast in the finish. Very good in the start, but a strange finish. Nice lacing on the glass with a lot to ponder in its depths.

Feb 9, 2009 750 mL into a trappist glass. 2008 version. Pours a a deep purple almost black with a two-finger tan head. Great retention and lacing. Huge aroma of rum raisin, plums, licorice, milk chocolate, and berries. Taste is bubbly up front with great spicy alcohol along with chocolate-covered strawberries, raisins, and yeast. Thick and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Awesome.

Feb 8, 2009 750 mL bottle, corked & caged (2008 version, sampled Feb. 2009): dark purple chestnut with an ivory creamy that diminishes into a thin ring around the edges of the glass. Striking raisin and sour dough aroma with wonderful bretty undertones...fairly strong alcohol currents stream from the glass, but dark strawberry fruits and sour yeast offer some balance. Thick, nutty palate: heavily roasted, almost meaty. Fairly bitter, with a thought of spicy chocolate. The complexity seems to be in its infancy...I get the sense that the yeast is just beginning to develop, while the malt and other flavours are just mellowing and blending. I look forward to what this will be like next year, but for now it seems just a bit too new still, a little raw if you will...but clearly no slouch either.

Feb 3, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Very dark fruity nose on this one. Lots of raisins, plums, prunes, what have you. Very thin-bodied and the flavor isn’t incredibly nice. The alcohol is very apparent and a bit off-putting. Fuckin cool label though.
