Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks! Poured a nearly opaque black dark brown color with some red light coming through around the edge of the glass. I smelled vanilla, caramel, corn sugar, and dry husky grain. Full bodied with some earthy hop flavor accenting malty caramel and vanilla.

Finally got to try this elusive beer at an open house, and I’m glad I did. Near brown-black in color, this brew has a smooth flavor and mouthfeel, with only the slightest hint of the alcohol it contains. Definite plum flavor, but not overly so. Very nicely done.

Handbottle from one of my favorite traders...JB175. Thanks! Pour is dark...close to mahoganny. Big beige head that fades to a nice ring around the glass. Aroma is awesome! Ripe plums, candi sugar and a touch of alcohol. A bit of toffee, chocolate and caramel present too. Dammit! I think this beer soured a bit, but can still tell it was a beauty fresh. Silky mouthfeel good body. Im slightly pissed I didn’t open this sooner.

Old notes, hand bottle courtesy of dickinsonbeer. Thanks, man! Pours dark brown with no real head to speak of. Tastes nutty with some nice fruity hints, some warming alcohol, touches of sweetness. Finishes with some warming alcohol. Very enjoyable.

Pours muddy dark brown with no head. Nose is dark fruits, malt and toffee, as is the flavor, in addition to a bit of heat.
