Delicious pear, seltzer, flowery herbesscence wafting gently...shade of fake maple syrup with patchy lacing. Tangy light malt flavor with a lot of caramel - interesting and with a hint of alcohol. Apple juice, vanilla and brown sugar in the finish. Thanks for sharing, BBB63!

Jun 8, 2008 Bottle shared by mmtmatrix, thanks man. Poured a deep garnett red-brown color with a moderate off-white head that fades to a layer. Aroma of sweet malt with some moderate fruit and a hint of caramel. Sweet, lightly fruity (apple) maltiness with some moderate caramel and a hint of raisin on the finish. Smooth, a bit thin, but some decent dryness on the finish.

Jun 1, 2008 Dark bronze color. Filmy, layered foam. Aroma shows a touch of maple, peat, caramel and toast, with a touch of oxidation. Flavor shows a lot of oxidation. Some toast, sweet malts, maple. I don’t care for it.

May 12, 2008 33cl. Thanks, Glouglouburp! Dig the fancy cardboard can. Pours opaque super-dark brown with a thin, creamy tan head. Decent webby lacing. Brown bready, yeasty, pleasant nose. Medium, creamy body. Caramel, biscuit, not so much on the vanilla and butterscotch the brewer promises. More like brown bread crust. Mild earthy finish. Nice stuff.

Apr 14, 2008 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Clear, very dark, ruby ale with a mid-sized, creamy, lightly tanned head. Rich, vinous aroma puts forward generous notes of port wine and a medley of dark fruits. I’m picking up a suggestion of smoke as well. Full-bodied and oily with modest carbonation. Sweet port and dark fruits blend nicely with light chocolate and minerals. Chocolaty-sweet, vinous finish. These guys get it! Thanks to mcbackus for sharing this world class brew!
