Feb 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Bottle. Pours a turd-water brown with a lot of well-carbonated soapy head that slowly fades. Some watery lacing persists. Aroma is strong candied plum, cotton candy, banana, mango, chalk. I can already anticipate something very unique. Flavor doesn’t disappoint: molasses, caramel, chocolate, plum, vanilla, yeast, cotton candy...very unique and definitely something to be experienced. Very rich flavor and body, syrup-like on the tongue. Way too drinkable at 12%; alcohol is hidden very well.

Feb 18, 2008 2002 vintage bottle at Hopleaf. Pours an explosive roasty chocolate color with huge white head that sticks around quite a while. Nose is bubblegum, cloves, banana, spice and black pepper. Flavor is vanilla, pepper, cloves. Nice big mouth feel. Finishes nice and clean with some notes of cinnamon. Quite nice.

Feb 17, 2008 Drank this with sauerbraten. Excellent wheat beer. The strength complemented the food. Tasted was heavy with some dark fruits.

Feb 16, 2008 Pours a dark ruby with a brownish white head. Aroma of sweet and dried fruits, caramel. Flavor is similar. Has a red wine hint to it as well as tootsie roll, yeast, and a bit of spiciness. Slightly acidic yet kind of sweet too. No alcohol present. The girlfriend said it was very port like and that kind of stuck out as being correct. Very interesting.

Feb 14, 2008 Pours a dark brown color. You can see the bubbles popping through though. Grain, wheat, and fruit aromas. Raisin, plum and caramel flavors. Full bodied and slightly sweet. As it warms the alcohol becomes more apparent and warms your soul as it goes down. Sort of resiny and brandy like finish.

Feb 10, 2008 Bottle, dark brown almost like a weak stout. Smelled fruity, chocolatey and some other sweetness that I cant figure out. Smelled like a barley wine. Taste like a stong ale, and maybe some characteristics of a wine. I have never tasted a beer like this. 12 percentile is strong but it fits this beer perfect. Unique, that is for sure. I like, I like it a lot!
