Beautiful cloudy body red. Strong aroma of spices and fruits. Similarly flavored body, with light spices.

Aug 24, 2008 GTMW 08 - Pours brown / bronze with a small head. The aroma has lots of figs and heavily toasted brown malt. Medium / thick body with semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with very sharp fruits, sweet malt and a bit of diacetyl butteriness. The finish is on the medicinal side, but the good points still show through. This is okay, but could be a lot better in better condition.

Aroma is cooked veggies, DMS.
Taste is more DMS, some caramel malt and diacetyl.
Wow, this was bad.
I definitely need to re-visit this beer.

Aug 11, 2008 pour was a murky brown with a small tan head. Aroma has not of dark fruit and a strong candi sugar. Flavor was decent as well with some fig and a nice helping of candi sugar. Sme alcohol shows in this one but this is still a decent dubbel.

May 10, 2008 Attended the Grand Opening of Red Eye Brewing Company near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Received an early release of this beer, straight from the finished tank. Pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a creamy beige head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some papaya, passion fruit, candi sugar, a touch of apple cider and some flowery hops. Taste is smooth, a little thick, with flavors of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, flowery hops and a touch of tropical fruit. Finish is creamy and still full bodied, with a semi-sweet candi sugar and fruit aftertaste with some alcohol character presence.
