Dark amber with nice head. Strong malty aroma of caramel, spices, yeast and dark fruit. Flavour is sweet , and sweet finish. Would be nice with some bitterness to balance sweetness.

Pours a dark brown w/ ruby highlights. Thick never-ending creamy head. Fresh floral aroma with hints of caramel. Heavy, syrupy burnt sugar, dark fruit and caramel flavors. Notes of cloves, vanilla, dark chocolate, raisin, and cherry cough syrup. Some bittering hops and sour at the end. Very creamy texture. Alcohol well hidden. Heavy lacing on the glass. Attractive, complex and pleasant flavors, very good!

Amber brown colour with a weak white head. Aroma is malt, hop and caramel. Taste is malt, caramel and some hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a little thin but is clean and crisp. Pretty good beer, I’d do it again.

bottle picked up from KJ’s in lake dallas on my way back from english class. poured a deep amber with a frothy beige head and lots of lace. aroma was caramel, raisin, plum, and some candi sugar(?). taste was lots of spice and alcohol upfront followed by some cinnamon. body was medium with high carbonation. i found this to be much better on the cold side. it seemed to go downhill when it started to warm.

Bottle. A malty aroma, light bitter, reminds a little bit of chocolate, very soft smoky aroma. The medium large creamy light brown head has a normal duration, the body is brown. The taste is very dry, some bitter chocolate, light metallic and medical. The body is medium strong, lively and creamy with a lot of carbonation.
