4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Tried it on tap and bottled, excellant either way, but better draft. Sweetish with hints of coffee and alcohol.

Bottle shared with northropfye. Sweet aroma of prunes, raisins, and yeast. Tasted of prunes and raisins as well with a deeper liquorice note. I like it a lot.

This is the beer that started it all for me. I’d highly recomend enjoying it as it warms up to about 55-60. At 6.99 a bottle its the best value for my money and truly and outstanding experiance. A treat if you appreciate all the ever changing nuances of a finley crafted beverage.

Pours a hazy deep ruby (almost matches the bottle label) with a gorgeous and thick reddish-tan head. Fades to full lacing that grips the sides of the glass incredibly well.
The nose is heavy with rich dark fruits, fig, date, with a slight bready yeast presence and a bit of alcohol.
Nice sweetness, not overwhelmingly so, with a slightly sour backbone and finish. On tasting, some roasty and chocolatey notes come out in support of the rest of the palate.
Full bodied, creamy, sticky, great carbonation, with a long, tasteful, lingering finish.
This is a very good beer.

Beautiful reddish brown color. Clove and bread aroma and initial palate. Rich alcohol and spicy yeast finish. Carmelized sugar lingers. Damn good.

750ml bottle. Raisin and something slightly sour in the aroma besides malty sugar. Flavor is round caramel and candy. Lingering finish is exquisite. So much flavor is contained in each mouthfull it’s hard to figure it all out, it makes each sip more interesting then the last. Hop character isn’t apparent, it’s just enough to balance all the amazing sugar and malt flavors. Yay beer!

Pours medium brown with a moderate light brown head and a touch of sediment. Nose is delicious and smells of a deep brown sugary malt and a little yeast. Flavor is rich and layered with caramel, both brown and white sugars, abbey yeast, a little alcohol, light hops and spice, and an unidentified (by me, anyway) last flavor that adds more depth. Very drinkable. Finish is a little sticky and mostly sweet. One of the best beers I have ever had.

Mörkt magohnyfärgad och stor skum som långsamt lägger sig lämnar rester på glaset. Fantastisk doft av marsipan, dumlekola och honung. Dessa återkommer i smaken som är lätt vinös, små lätta bubblor, komplex smakbild, väl dolda 8,5% och torr avslutning. Otroligt välbalanserad. Den ästa dubbeln jag någonsin druckit. Hittar ingen datummärkning på flaskan men jag gissar att den börjar närma sig utgångsdatum eftersom denna beställningsvara hade hamnat på Hansas systemhylla. Ser du den så köp.
