Jan 15, 2009 Updated: Jan 19, 2009Murky reddish brown with sediment, non lasting cream top, like fresh cider, opaque. Smells of maple, wood, grapes, cherries and dark chocolate. Tastes of bitter chocolate, CARAMEL APPLES, cinammon with warm alcohol finish. Smooth and slightly hearty.

Jan 3, 2009 Poured deep brown and ruby red, almost opaque and a bit hazy. Nice two finger head and great lacing. Big malty aromas, including cherries, tart granny smith apples, licorice and mint. Sweet malt flavors, nothing roasted about it, featuring black cherry, apples, and slight coffee, chocolate and brown sugar. Very smooth on the palate, generously carbonated and a very pleasant dark fruit aftertaste. Alcohol has a wonderfully warming effect on a cold winter night.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle from 3 bottle craft pack. Pours a nice dark amber with a off-white/tan head. Tastes of cherries and licorice with a bitter finish. Best of the three beers.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle. [Trade with hopscotch and the Florida Crew, thanks buddy] Huge thick beige head that really lasted. Excellent display of lacework. Cloudy dark amber color. Aroma was very explosive with notes of fruit and dried fruit. Strong undertones of alcohol, Port Wine, thick malt. Over the palate notes of raisins, prunes nuts was picked up. Almost mild sour cherry notes as well. Full bodied with a soft carbonation and thick alcoholic texture. Heavy sweet flavor the way I like it. Lingering warming vinous dried fruity finish. One more please. Once again thanks for the trade Eric, see you and your lovely wife in Copenhagen in 2010.

Jan 1, 2009 Pours an opaque dark brown with a small light tan head that dissipates pretty fast. Smells kind of like those chocolate covered liquor cherries. Has a strong and sweet malty nose with dark fruit and a hint of yeast and alcohol. Sweet malts meld with the dark fruit with hints of molasses and caramel to make this a very tasty beer. Nice sticky palate, I was a little concerned that I would be turned off by the cherries but they are just a small part of the complex array of flavors in this excellent beer.
