Smell is nutty, spicy, and sweet. Nice feel to it and the taste is warm, slightly raisiny, slightly sweet, and has a nice dry finish to it. Very nice and gets better as it warms up a little.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Draught at Eni-bru in Osaka.
Raisins, dried fruits, sherry, big caramel, and alcohol. Sweet and gets a bit too cloying through the class, probably better ages in the big bottle. Still quite impressive. dmac (1511), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2008 750 ml bottle purchased at Spirit’s Burlington. Pours a murky deep chestnut brown with an average size foamy light beige head. Wow what an aroma, is this bourbon barrel aged?? Strong complex with notes of vanilla, raisin, fig, prune, bourbon, toffee, caramel, brown sugar,yeast, just comlex and great all around. Medium bodied yet with a flat mouthfeel almost as if there was not much carbonation despite the head that I observed on the original pour. Flavor isn’t quite as complex as the great aroma but still pleasant. Flavors of dark fruits(figs, plum, raisin), brown bread, yeast, brown sugar and some candy notes(toffee and caramel) come through. This is one solid beer that I would gladly have again and again. Strykzone (1507), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Dark reddish brown brew with a nice tan head. Nose is sweet dark fruit, malt, must, and raisin. This beer has a vinous quality to it. It offers flavors of sugar, alcohol, dark fruit, must (again), and a sophisticated Old World feel. It is just a bit over sweet but is still quite tasty. SuIIy (1504), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
