Jan 4, 2008 Pours deep amber with a thin off white head. Smells like raisins and caramel. Tatse is where this beer excels. I taste sweet Rich malt with a smooth hop balance. Dark chocolate, raisin, and brown sugar. Pretty complex. Finish is long. I love this beer!

Jan 3, 2008 Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. Mahagony color. Raisiny, chocolatey, nutty and caramelly aroma with soft alcohol note. Sweet sugary and raisiny flavor with dark sugar, toffee, phenols and warming alcohols. Some alcohol sharpness also.

Dec 30, 2007 12 oz. bottle - The aroma smells like a combination of Tootsie Rolls and yeast...it might not be for everyone, but I like it a lot. Flavor has hints of dried fruit and brown sugar.

Dec 29, 2007 750 mL Bottle - A cool label and a great beer. I agree with many reviewers about the beautiful mahogany beer and beige head. A rich caramel malty flavor with a semi sweet subtle spice flavor.

Dec 28, 2007 One of the best beers I’ve ever had. Visually, one of the most beautiful beers as well. Pours a deep, clear amber-red, that actually appears to have a sunburst effect as you look at it through the side of a belgian glass. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a wisp of yeast. Taste is earthy and fruit that spreads out on the palate into a bitter/sweet finish on the sides of the tongue. Finish also has notes of yeast and alcohol. In short, a masterpiece by our friends at North Coast!

Dec 27, 2007 I have stored this bottle about a year. Pours a red-hued light brown color, with some haze, and a decent head that lasts to the end. Aroma is dark fruits, with some malt and some wood characteristics. Also hints of yeastiness in the nose. Flavor is more dark fruits, some yeastiness and chocolate malt. Hops are apparent, but very subdued. Very well balanced beer in style. Alcohol comes through, but softly. Body is suitably medium to full, with a creamy carbonation. Aftertaste is lingering dark malt and fruit.

Dec 26, 2007 I’m thankful this is now available locally. The bottle poured rich mahogany with ruby tones. Open for about two minutes prior,thin tan head settles quickly.Aroma of alcohol and caramelized malts and SWEET yeast. The yeast and grain produce a toasty sweetness which combines with the gentle warmth of alcohol. Medium full mouth feel. Spot on and delcious. Cheers!
