Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - really hazy dark amber beer, with a dark tan head - aroma of oak, vanilla, dough, some bright fruity character, a little acidity - really chewy, with an oily mouthfeel - very heavy - flavors of caramel, toffee, treacle - a lot of fig and other dark fruit - a little sticky, but with a balancing alcohol warmth and herbal character in the finish - nice brew.

May 19, 2008 Shared by Goldtwins at Paul’s Hoboken gathering...Hazy deep amber in color, with a tan head. Aroma of alot of molasses, dark fruit, and lightly yeasty. Taste is alot of caramel/molasses, sherry- plums and raisins, nice and full bodied and relatively smooth, some light bready yeast. Finishes with lingering fruit, caramel sweetness, and a light to moderate hop bitterness. So far this one is aging extremely well. One of the highlights for me at the tasting, thanks Larry!
