Mar 5, 2008 rate #400 bottle: poursa real nice dark chocolate brown colour with a medium sizedesspresso foam head that seems very creamy. aroma is a real nice vinous fruit, a good sweet malt and deep brown sugars. the fruit aromas are fantastic in this beer. the flavour is a litttel weak to start but fades into a good dark sugar and fruit flavour of raisins and black figs. the finshes is again dark fruits adn some bitterness, just a little amount of alcohol. a very good beer.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a dark brown with only a bit of head. Aroma is on the dark fruit side with a bit of yeast. Flavor is prune, raisin, caramel, booze, fake sugar. Finishes with pretty much no carbonation and not smooth at all. Kind of an alcoholic mess. I don’t see how age could make this any better.

Feb 29, 2008 4 month old 750ml bottle- pours a reddish-brown color. Slight head to this one. Fruity aroma. Was very fruity and sweet. A lot of flavor going on. Plums, raisins, and some prune notes. A hint of alcohol in the finish. Overall a good brew well worth the wait.

Feb 27, 2008 Had at Madness with the Moose. Poured a dark red-brown color that was almost purple. Small off-white head. The aroma was fruity with plenty of raisin and other dark fruit. Light alcohol hits the nose. The flavor was sweet and fruity. More raisins and some light chocolate and sugar. The alcohol is pretty much covered up in the flavor. But you can feel in warm the body. Full bodied and almost sticky.

Feb 26, 2008 Should have rated this a long time ago.....it deserves it after having survived the plane ride home from Fullerton in my checked garment bag...stuffed in my boot. Poured a dark mahogany reddish...small, brief head. Sweet malty aroma, fruity....ripe dark fruits, prunes, raisins, etc. Full bodied with more dark fruit in the flavor, alcohol, chocolate hints....tasty for sure. Quick dry finish....low carbonation. Yet another standout brew by the LB folks.

Feb 26, 2008 750 ml bottle procured through trade from Ty and shared with Nate and Naka. Pours dark brown with amber hues, small, rimming white head. Sweet malt, caramel, raisin, grape and plum on the nose. Taste is caramel, toffee, lots of raisin and plum. Mild bitter. A bit dry. Dark and tasty with a great mouthfeel and a good look. Very good stuff. I’m a fan. Now where can I find some more. . . . . . . . .. . .
