another one with no notches on the day and week from psprings... fudgy aroma with notes of cardamom, roast, bready yeast and spicy red wine. the flavor has an unexpected lactic tartness... mixed with roast, chocolate, yeast, red wine, brown sugar and a tart dry spiciness on the finish. it is medium bodied with a nice acidity level. 8/4/8/3/16/3.9

Bottle thanks to JCB (thanks Jason!). Pours a dark brown with a thick light brown head. Very pretty. Aroma of sweet pears and apples and sweet malt. Flavor initially of sweet malt and some slight roasted malt notes in the finish. Very smooth palate but a little wearing from the sweetness. Pretty decent, a little sweet though. 8/4/7/4/15 (3.8/5)

Man this is good. So rich and creamy. Different for and AD but real nice. Sweet, malty, caramel, rich sugary fruits and molasses. Nice head and retains well. Dark in color with a lighter fluffy dense almost nitro head. Beatiful and delicious. Thanks SamuraiArtist.

My 900th rating.. woohoo and this beers 300th. Pours a very dark brown, unclear but a nice rich color, huge thick frothy fine tan head with lots of super fine silky bubbles as lacing. Very rich aroma, plums, cashews, black currants, hint of chocolate, varnish. This is a very tasty beer, dark and bitter, softly sweet and rich, very dry, lots of nutmeg, nice yeastiness, some banana esters blend wonderfully with the warming alcohol, darker roasted malts on the verge of being burnt, toffee, lightly fruity in the first taste but quickly becomes bitter. Great body, fluffy, lightly sharp abundant carbonation bubbles, a touch syrupy, very similar to an authentic trappist. Reminds me a bit of Great Divide Hibernation and Millstream Single White Friar with dry chocolate, however, the fruitiness really is reminiscent of a quad. A lovely beer and I think I made the right choice for my 900th rating.

Bottle shared at Madness. Poured a deep dark black with a light beige creamy head. Very sweet aroma of roasty malt, slight citrus, yeast and dark bread. Medium bodied with lively bubbly carbonation. Sweet flavor of dark fruit, light roastiness, maltiness, yeast and slight tobacco on the after taste. Good stuff, it would of been worlds easier for me to find this if I wrote down that it was made by Midnight Sun.

22oz bottle from ClarkVV. Pours a jet black color with a thick foamy light beige head. Head receedes leaving about 1/4 inch of foam that stays with the beer throughout consumption. Sporadic lacing is left. Nose is light chocolate malt, lots of grape skins and plums. Flavors contain more of the chocolate malt with a lower percentage of the grape skins and plums, some earthy notes and peat. Palate is quite fizzy and full with a lightly playful finish. Mouth is left with a small film, tongue is weathered, and burps ensue.

Black with a thick creamy tan head. Aromas are of toast and fruit jelly with a slight spiciness. Taste is sweet and fruity.

22 oz bottle. Dark brown with a tan haze that continues to bubble. Yeasty nose with raisin. Milky body with a soft tang. Taste is golden raisin, fig and smoky carrot juice. Woody drying with touches of candi and grass. Very tasty.
