Apr 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 20082006 bottle. Pours a murky candy apple red with brownish highlights. Big, fluffy head. Sticky lacing is prominent. Aromas of plum, caramel, licorice, cinnamon, fig, and chocolate. Nice. First touch on the tongue is frothy and smooth. Plum and dark candy, brown sugar, fig, and sweet banana. Don’t get a lot of cherries, but the other flavors really make up for it. Very smooth-bodied, and full and savoring. Very enjoyable.

Apr 19, 2008 Aroma of fruits soaked in wine. Darker fruit on the palate with a nice zing. Raisins and cherries and port. A full bodied presence. Very good American brew.

Apr 11, 2008 Reddish brownish, fluffy had that dissipates. Nose is tart and fruity, candy and raisins. Very interesting. This is quite drinkable with tons of dried fruits, yeast and complex sugars in the taste. Tartness is definitely there. A pretty nice beer, even if it’s more of a sour than an abt...

Apr 11, 2008 2007 Bottle. Pours a reddish brown med a beige head. Aroma is dried fruits, plums and some mature notes of madeira. Flavour has a nice sweetness and some tartness. A malty beer with notes of dried fruits, toffee (and the swedish candy kola-remmar) and some roasted notes. You can feel the high ABV just a bit. The finish is a bit roasted with fruity notes, some liquorice, some alcohol and just a hint of bitterness. Good one!

Apr 9, 2008 Blind at Dugges 080329. Hazy light red colour, light tan head, a bit low. Sweet aroma with strawberries (ed. perhaps that actually was the cherries from the Lindemans). Malty and fruity. Very bitter and high acidity. High alcohol taste.
