Commercial Description:
Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

Bottle from the Liquor Barn in Redding, CA. Poured a very dark amber and smelled of toffee and carmel. This is a full-bodied brew with hints of carmel . The rich flavors came out even more and the beer warmed up a little. Great brew.

Pours amber color with thick tan head. Sweet aroma of caramel and some fruit. Flavor of malts and hint of alcohol in carbonation. Excellent.

Pours a deep amber color with a foamy, tan head. Smell is of sweat malt with many fruit notes intermingled. The malt caramel-like malt is the first flavor to hit the tongue followed by a slight alcohol presence. The fruitiness comes through in the finish to truly bring all of the flavors together. The carbonation is crisp and body is full but not thick by any means. This is a great sipper that I would gladly sip from again. Definitely a great pick. Reviewed on: 12-14-2007

Pours a rusty red with a slightly off white head 2 inches high. Aroma is burnt sugar and some dark fruits. Flavor is slightly buttery with some deep caramel malt flavors. Really rich with a nice lingering aftertaste this beer is velvety smooth across the palate with carbonation.

Brown pour with one finger head that dissipates. Very fruity with a faint touch of caramel and fruit. Good but not overly memorable.

12 oz. bottle served in trappist glass- poured brown with dark maroon tints, high-medium carbonation, nice tan-brown head formed and dissipated slowly. Aroma of weak molasses, brown sugar, dark fruit, and malt. Hits the mouth with a medium body, spicy from the start, dark cherries and some plum going towards the middle, finish is warming and has more spice. Good.
