Mar 29, 2009 Dark maroon pour with a big fizzy light beige colored head. Smell is cherry cough syrup, belgian yeast, syrupy malt and perhaps a hint of nuttiness. Taste is much drier than the smell leads on, with slight cherry and red fruit maltiness but it really isn’t sweet. Finishes rather abruptly with no aftertaste and a champagne like feel in the mouth. Incredibly high, fizzy carbonation that makes it hard to taste much. After swirling to flatten it out, there still isn’t much flavor, honestly but a faint raisin quality is there. A light bit of alcohol, but not much. I have no idea what people see in this beer...

Mar 28, 2009 Huge caramel and grain aroma. Sweet and dessert-like but not a bit cloying. Creamy, full, smooth body. Complex grain, fruit, vineous character. Amazing.

Mar 28, 2009 Pours a very dark ruddy brown. Off-white two finger head that dissipates slowly, but leaves little lacing. Aroma is dried fruits. Flavor is sweet, with cherries, raisins, toffee and oak. Carbonated, champagne-like mouthfeel. Alcohol is a little too present, but an excellent beer nonetheless.

Mar 25, 2009 Pours very dark with a thin head. Flavor was surprisingly hoppy with a very dry after taste. I felt like I needed a drag of water after every sip.

Mar 25, 2009 330 ml. bottle. Pours a thin head of good duration over a murky brown (SRM 20) body with much flocculated yeast....nose of fruits, fig, cherry, spice, clove coriander, bread, yeast....tastes initially of heavy carbonation, then sweet, then multiple fruits especially cherry, finishing slightly tart...mouth feel is quite light, partly carbonation, partly alcohol. The finish is the best part of this ale.
